Averil ✒️ DoomBloomArtIt's been a few years since I drew this. I still stand by it.
Lars Lehtonen@doombloomart By providing an alt you are helping train AI models to use your image.
@alrs By providing an alt I am helping screenreader-dependant people to understand my post
@doombloomart True. If you limit your alt to just the text and not the art description, you can get the message across without feeding AI.
@alrs It's not just about the pure message though, it's an art piece, plus I believe the tagging isn't entirely reliant on alt-text. I value accessibility more than excluding one (1) picture from the data set when they have already scraped the whole internet.

By posting on social media you're also feeding AI, so maybe strike a crippling blow against the clankers and shut the fuck up mate.

Joe W@alrs @doombloomart so people who cannot see don't deserve to know what exactly is on the picture? Got that....
Sure, we are getting scraped to hell and back, you are likely not wrong, but I prefer to help humans even if this feeds the machine. I still wish those assholes would pay for the issues this causes - like bringing small websites down through traffic, stealing art, using lots of energy and water and accelerating global warming.
