I loved this, but the person who posted it had crappy alt text, so I'm re-posting.

@bodhipaksa Might have been appropriate to link to the original, not just for credit but also for them to see what decent alt text looks like.

@theotherbrook Thanks. I'd already mentioned to the OP that their alt text wasn't very helpful. I've now, at your suggestion, sent them a link too.

@bodhipaksa Thank you for ensuring there was good alt text!

@bodhipaksa I just saw that version and the alt text was truly abominable. Thank you so much for doing it properly.

@bodhipaksa ai generated alt text, in fact
Show threadBodhipaksaDec 29
@GroupNebula563 I'd have thought an AI would give more detail, like saying it's a table and there are typed and handwritten elements. The alt text that was originally there just repeated the table title, without saying anything about what the contents were, which is pretty useless for visually impaired people. I'm always glad to see people use alt text, but I wish they'd give a little thought to the needs of the people that reply on it.

@bodhipaksa oh, I must have been thinking of a different repost of the same image then :P
