Thanks for sharing. I didn’t really a draft of this was already out there. It’ll be interesting to find out how some of these criteria change before becoming the standard. I know I’ll have to work on some of those cognitive guidelines like “Sentences do not include unnecessary words or phrases.”

Personally, I think there needs to be a lot of regulation and oversight here. AI companies need to be legally responsible for the inputs (abiding by IP rights) and outputs of their models.

To change the width of buttons in Button and Button Stack blocks, select the Format button and scroll to the bottom of the panel. You can either choose one of their preset widths or create a custom width of your own.

To be accessible, buttons and links should be descriptive and unique (WCAG 2.4.4). This can be challenging when dealing with a limited character count. Designers were faced with the choice of making buttons descriptive and visually unappealing or vague and unhelpful. Now, we can have both.

Ideally, alt text is 150 characters or less (though there are cases where it needs to be longer). Using #CamelCase, where you capitalize the first letter of each word, in hashtags also helps screen readers users and individuals with cognitive disabilities.
