Don't get me wrong, I think it's good that including #AltText for images is the norm here on the #Fediverse .
But for me, this also means that I am sharing _far_ less images than I did back on Twitter.
When I am abroad and take some interesting pictures - and I take a _lot_ of pictures - I am usually not in the mood of spending several minutes typing Alt-Text on my tiny smart phone keyboard. Thus, I wait until I am back at my desktop PC - if I haven't forgotten about my intention by then, which is usually the case.
My typing speed on smart phone screens is _vastly_ slower than on proper keyboards, so this is unlikely to change.
@juergen_hubert this highlights a case of the perfect being the enemy of the good:
We all lose out when people don't post good content because they can't make it perfect. Better to have an image without alt text than to have no image at all.
As for AI, maybe it should be seen as running on the reader's end and not the publisher?
