  This paper examines the question of how generative AI can improve the
well-being of blind or visually impaired people. It refers to a current
example, the Be My Eyes app, in which the Be My AI feature was integrated in
2023, which is based on GPT-4 from OpenAI. The author's tests are described and
evaluated. There is also an ethical and social discussion. The power of the
tool, which can analyze still images in an amazing way, is demonstrated. Those
affected gain a new independence and a new perception of their environment. At
the same time, they are dependent on the world view and morality of the
provider or developer, who prescribe or deny them certain descriptions. An
outlook makes it clear that the analysis of moving images will mean a further
leap forward. It is fair to say that generative AI can fundamentally improve
the well-being of blind and visually impaired people and will change it in
various ways.
