Blind person here: Garbage. A. Stop using AI for everything, it's drinking my groundwater and isn't competent at interpreting visual media, as we have repeatedly seen evidenced. B. The robot doesn't know why you put that there. Say it's a meme. Even if it identifies it, what does it MEAN?

Word has auto-generated alt text in images now, and the only benefit is that it REMINDS ME to go and ensure images have alt-text in ebook files (like for book covers in promos at the end) because it tells me it generated something and it's...not inaccurate, just always incredibly vague so I fix it.

Asking AI to generate alt text for images is not unlike asking AI to generate images for posts. (A midness disaster.)

I wonder how these image interpreting AIs will work for images that were "tainted" by tools like nightshade (a software that modifies images to make them useless or even harmful for AI training).

Absolutely!!! I am not blind but I love alt text (am often on phone where images don't load), and... AI can't capture vibes. Thinking if a video description I did earlier where the order of what was revealed, and how the camera panned out to reveal it, was critical.

They are trying soooooooo hard to come up with plausible uses for this technology when it's just too limited.

Serious question: My circles have been talking a lot about how to make good alt-text recently. So, from someone who actually uses it, what makes good alt-text FOR YOU? Most documents concern using photos as contextual illustration for an article. How would you like a meme labeled? Or an art piece?

Floorp is basically a better Firefox that won't have this feature. Glad I made the switch now

it tends to be good with character recognition (ie. reading text), but honestly as soon as you delve into image classification specific enough for alt text, it gets to be too general to be useful. it's never gonna be more descriptive than someone putting alt text on their own image.

ai is literally a trash generator. It's like a river you stand in sieving out small crumbs of useful information. And it takes shitloads of energy to maintain which at this point is not worth the outcome. But it seems to already crumble fortunately. It got out into public way too soon.

And yes I am very, VERY suspicious. AI pushers have been saying "but think of disabled people!" from jump, but it's never been for us. They don't know what we need.

i think the push for 'disabled' help is the frankly batshit insane idea that circulates the highest tiers of commerce is an invisible population of money hoarding non working disabled people who if they can just get, they'll have an inexhaustible monopoly of low risk passive earners(insane)
