prime example of why ai is woefully inadequate for alt text. attached is an image along with the alt text the mastodon app provided for it (posted by another user who i am not tagging so as not to suggest anybody should flame them)

ive seen a poll going around recently that suggested people who rely on alt text for images would prefer ai generated alt text than none at all, but this makes me wonder: did those who voted that way know when it was generating totally misleading alt text? or did they presume it was accurate, or at least accurate enough, and that was better than nothing? (assuming that wasn't just pro-ai mfs who can totally see skewing results)

#AI #altText #accessibility #a11y
