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?

@Lumidaub
Writing a short description will be faster and more accurate.

It will tale less time than checking and correcting the output of #ai.

So you posted this from mastodon? Is @Lumidaub your tag there?

"@Lumidaub" is a reference to me. The system added that because they were, technically, replying to my comment here.

Gotcha, these look so full of links on my client

Yep, same, it's a bit of a weakness of the Fediverse imho.
