@jessamyn@RoyReed Also - AI alt text will get scraped and influence next-gen models, when what we really need are millions more examples of human-made alt text so that future AI can do it better than is possible now.
@jessamyn@RoyReed I use AI description a lot most recently to learn that a discarded mattress on the sidewalk was what it was, without having to touch it. I think that generally it’s best if descriptive AI is used at an individual’s discretion, not at scale. This way, individual users can choose a model, refine their prompts and have their preferences reflected in custom description, and meanwhile nobody is invited to outsource institutional descriptions to a bot.
