How difficult is it to attach #AltText?

Getting some helpโ€ฆ

...but still my work... I know the AI "work" is on the rise. I know that people use it to make "quick" items, and they just copy and paste, and share it like it's their work. Sure, they typed up the prompt... But many folks don't even take the time to check that the "slob machine" has spit out... Granted, I have been using it as well. I use it to make images, to write alt texts (but I do feed the prompts, and I add personal and additional info), and occasionally to sum up things that I have gathered from different sites. But the posts that I share here, although they do contain some AI stuff, my posts are all made by me. [โ€ฆ]

Growing up, I was surrounded by broken men, men who came home from a war filled with shrapnel and guilt, men who were misled into a losing ideology. And I can tell you: these ghosts you idolize spent the rest of their lives living in shame and right now, they're resting in hell.

I have a message to the Neo-Nazis, the white nationalists, and the Neo-Confederates. Let me be as blunt as possible: Your heroes are losers. You are supporting a lost cause. Believe me, I knew the original Nazis. I was born in Austria in 1947, shortly after the second world war.

@Nick No, and I never will.

See, my original images are renderings from extremely obscure 3-D virtual worlds. First of all, I have very good reasons to write my image descriptions that long; see here: https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/item/95b6e36d-7fcd-4791-8cc1-c93e8b9975a3

Besides, how is someone supposed to accurately describe my images who has never even heard of the underlying technology of these worlds, much less the specific places which my images show, not to mention the contents of the images?

See, in my long descriptions, I also give all necessary explanations so people neither have to look up anything themselves nor ask me anything to understand the images and the descriptions. For example, I don't simply mention where an image was made. I explain it, and I explain it at multiple levels (explanations of explanations etc.) because the topic at hand is so obscure.

People who know nothing about the images can't give any explanations because they know nothing about the images.

For example, tell me how you'd describe the object to the right of the avatar in this image: https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/photos/jupiter_rowland/image/4dbbe1c0-e25d-4ff1-8b99-9d23126f377a. Then we'll both laugh. And then I'll give you a copy of how I've actually explained and described it.

Lastly, other people would describe my images by looking at the images. I'm far ahead of that. I describe my images by going in-world and looking at the real deal. I can see vastly more details. I can and do transcribe text of which people who look at the image don't even know it's there because it's so tiny.

This also enables me to identify far more elements in the image than complete laypeople who only have an 800x533 image to look at. I can tell you, quote from an actual image description, "there are two identical aรงaรญ palms in square terracotta pots with wide rims" while nobody else can even spot the plants in the first place, much less identify them.
