I am dead, I can’t believe this AI intro text I just got. If you thumb through it, there are all the usual suspects like breadth-first search and probability.
Then you open the first chapter and it goes HARD on the current state of things.
Then it’s back to mathematical notation like nothing happened.
@vicki I recognize that this would be a lot of text to transcribe here, but I encourage you to think of our vision impaired users and write an image description for each of your pictures, so that they too can understand and enjoy what you're sharing, and feel included. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/posting/#attachments
Don't worry about it this time (although you may be able to edit your toot once we install the next version of Mastodon), just please keep it in mind going forward.
@vicki So in theory the Mastodon web interface has an automatic OCR option, but I've never gotten it to work. If you're working from your phone, it may have an OCR option built into your OS, such as Google Lens.
But ultimately alt text / media descriptions are an art, and what you write for them will depend on what you consider important and what you wish to communicate. I probably wouldn't write the same descriptions as you.
If all the text would be necessary for understanding, include it all
