We already have ARIA, which is far more deterministic and should already be present on all major sites. AI should not be used, or necessary, as an accessibility tool.

If site authors would actually use aria. Not everything is a div, italic text is not for spawning emoji… it’s not good for semantic content or aria right now. It should not be necessary, but it is.
There's plenty of people who don't bother with ARIA and likely never will, so it's good to have tools that can attempt to help the user understand what's on screen. Though the scraping restrictions wouldn't be a problem in this scenario because the user's browser can be the one to pull down the page and then provide it to the AI for analysis.
