APB FYI

I've just removed the LLM network which creates Alt texts, useless for blind people.

I've consulted several blind people IRL who told me the same thing.

Alt text generated by all LLM systems is useless

The system that we have here on the FediVerse which uses a ethical data set, puts the emphasis on useless details for the blind individual.

The blind person can immediately see if a photograph has been described by the photographer.

It is totally different from what an LLM can produce.

The emphasis are straight to the point

• the description has a technical part
• the description has a compositional part
• the description has a color part
• the description has a lighting part
• the description has a short story

All of the above are important for the blind individual, however a large language model, doesn't know anything; it puts elaborate emphasis on things that are totally unnecessary absolutely unusable and makes the description messy to such a degree that all those Alt texts are simply ignored by the blind people.

Background:

As a young child I was extremely traumatized by cousin LLoyd, who broke my right eye, by throwing a stone into my eye.

Note

The only thing the only section that wasn't broken was the section that can never heal
I had to walk a whole year with a broken eye. I had not only lost depth of vision, I also lost a considerable amount of information which made my brains work much harder and made seeing the world much more difficult, putting extreme stress on my left eye.

From that perspective, I know from personal experience trauma and horror, what it means for a blind person to tell you that your LLM generated Slop, Alt text description, is totally useless.

I've checked the bot going through many iterations of many LLM back ends and came to the same conclusion as the blind people

ALT text generated by any LLM is useless

Note
Cousin LLoyd was angry that I laughed at him & Paul for fighting with his big brother about a cooked egg, instead of sharing it. They were living in a hostile environment
I got my sight back thanks to a genious of an eye surgeon, who literally rebuilt my eye. I'm eternally grateful to him

anyway we need to figure out something smaller than the web, something that it doesn't take a team of a thousand people to maintain

also, before we do the technical part we need a governance model that won't just wind up at the same place
