@mavica_again Wait until they find out what I've done with 98FE and NT4.

@nelson I am blind. Seeing people who think I'm not worth the effort fill my timeline with AltBot generated AI stuff that isn't even accurate in lots of cases.
Human alt text is always better, because it doesn´t focus on ocular seeing. Seeing people think, and AltBot was designed around that notion, that blind people must compensate for missing "eye-seeing", but that's not the case. I am interested in the meaning of an image to you, its maker or publisher.
Again, human alt text is better, also because it strengthens reciprocity between seeing and blind people. AltBot doesn't but it makes seeing people believe they have done their bit for accessibility. In actuality, the reverse is often true.
!!!!!!!!!
I love upgrading #Firefox, right-clicking on a link, and seeing a brand new context menu option to feed it to a water-guzzling plagiarism machine of capitalism called "Ask an AI Chatbot (Z) >" that I can't remove or disable.
(I can, but only by knowing in advance to go to the URL about:config, click through the valid scary warning, and toggle browser.ml.chat.menu to false.)
Tiny reminder FediFriends to not forget to add alt-texts to your beautiful pictures and funny memes.
Let's keep the Fediverse inclusive and accessible for all!
