@ppatel Oh I understand that, I am just testing their limitations and seeing how well they maintainers respond to feedback, especially of the negative type. Besides, arguing with BME is much cheaper than therapy! (grin)
these are the tools that are available, so I believe it is in our best interest to test them & push them to their limits. It also is a reminder to those who would put the entire burden of image description on such automated processes of their fallibility, prone as they are to hallucinations & heir as they are to all the shortcomings/limitations/prejudices of the underlying LLM
Particularly frustrating is that with this app, one should be able to submit the output of BME's description app to BME's large pool of volunteers in order to get a reality/veracity check.
Been waiting for an excuse to break this out...

This specification defines the authoring rules (author conformance requirements) for the use of Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.2 and Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.0 attributes on [HTML] elements. This specification's primary objective is to define requirements for use with conformance checking tools used by authors (i.e., web developers). These requirements will aid authors in their development of web content, including custom interfaces and widgets, which make use of ARIA to complement or extend the features of the host language [HTML].
The Christmas Day truce between Be My Eyes AI & me did not last the day.
An absolutely excruciating attempt to get a logical, believable description from the app. Guaranteed to curdle the milk of human kindness.
In a Nancy comic dated December 24, 1945 the origins of "cat speak" are revealed.
And, in a Christmas miracle, my session with BME was successful & relatively pain-free
Have an accessible Christmas 🐱😎

Din bătrani se povesteşte
Că-n toţi anii negreşit
Moş Crăciun pribeag soseşte
Niciodată n-a lipsit
From ancient times they tell the story
Of Santa Claus who without fail
Comes every year, roaming the world,
He has never missed a year.
Music for Isolation - “Moçs Crăciun” (Santa Claus)
