why are you assuming they'd be full-time wheelchair users? an abled person wouldn't stop using their legs and would be an ambulatory user.
Because we are talking about someone using AI for most if not all tasks that involve thinking and/or creativity, as if it was any other tool.
unlike genAI, wheelchairs don't magically make you become dependent on them.
it's impossible for someone that wasn't disabled already to find using a wheelchair preferable to just enjoying abled privilege.
an abled person would just use a "self-driving" car instead of using a wheelchair if they felt like outsourcing responsibility over their lives.
Again, we're talking about a hypothetical situation
