The problem is not in the screen reader but in the use of the ALT attribute from HTML Originally ALT was meant to provide a text thumbnail. There was also an element called LONGDESC, which did not have any of the drawbacks of ALT because it was a block level element that could take structured text.

As for the use of AI to obtain descriptions of images – despite what the authors of the HML5 specification claimed when it deprecated LONGDESC – the current state of AI is nowhere near reliable enough to provide reliable results that do not have to be first reviewed by someone with vision.
