Hi!

While I really enjoy seeing many of my fellow man being accommodating to people with disabilities. I find manually transcribing every image I post to be very tiring.

I thought that I could at least use some sort of AI to help with image transcripts, tho, that could probably be better used by the actual person with the disability.

So thats the question, should I skip the transcribing of an image or let an AI do it?

    You do realize that would lead to people (humans) doing the descriptions even less?

      I would argue that it might even increase the number of descriptions if they’re auto generated. People would find it easier to fix small issues than write a whole one from scratch.

        It would increase the number of bad descriptions and desincentivize people to add good descriptions or (depending on the interface/permissions; you are assuming I could just manually go and fix someone else’s alt-info in their image) submit fixes and corrections. And it would kill the environment even more anyway.
