🔥Cassandra🔥How do people feel about #AltText written by AI?
I often end up thinking it is way too many words about things that don’t matter, and I often end up not boosting it.

Better than nothing, worse than human alt-text.

@TheGreatLlama I guess I'm wondering if it *is* better than nothing. I honestly would not want to listen to so many pointless words even once.
Edit: I feel like I should add more words. It is important to me that alt text gives people who rely on it an experience equivalent to that of people who don't. It feels disrespectful to me to generate text that is largely a waste of someone's time, especially given what we know about the harmful consequences of generative AI.

Well, by "better than nothing", I mean by a hair. The difference between not caring enough to bother, and only caring enough to bother momentarily.
I do understand it in certain situations: on scene with a rapidly developing event, for example. I really wish people in that situation would go back and add human text later though.
