Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images.
The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.
@A11yAwareness I get that people wanna stick it to the AI scrapers, but it isn't worth screwing over all the people who genuinely do rely on alt text.
Sometimes you have to pick your battles, and this is a case where the risk of AI scraping is more than worth taking, if it means making our posts accessible.
