On the topic of alt text:
Being offered a chatGPT solution when the problem is that people need to put in effort, feels like asking for a sandwich and being served a bowl of dry dog food.
Like, yes technically this solves the problem, but I don't want it, and the fact that this is what you're offering and you feel so clever about it, speaks to a profound disrespect for me and my access needs.
@pencilears
you are asking people to work for free and find it disrespectful if they dare use tools to make catering to your wishes less work for them.
@pencilears
i don't serve anyone here. i don't operate a business. adding alt text is working for free so i don't add alt text. i'm here for my personal entertainment - if it makes someone else happy or someone deems my posts interesting that's great.
people who use AI to generate image descriptions try to cater to the "ALT TEXT OR DISABLED HATER" crowd. that using AI for this is wrong as well again proves that it's a losing game to play. it will never be enough.
@pencilears ok
@bonifartius if you don't alt text your images because it's too much work then I don't see how my original point applies to you at all.
