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?

Do not.

Please just don't.

People (hi I'm people) need what the image IS, what's important about it, why you included it. Not just what some slop generator shat out about it.

Better to have nothing, which is at least honest, than to have something that PURPORTS to have meaning but then just, doesn't.
