I've conducted several informal experiments over the last few weeks about alt text for #photos as described by humans and as provided by #AI systems.
#LLMS, despite providing plethora of details when describing images, still miss the nuances of what the photos contain. Human #descriptions certainly continue to be better at conveying context.

"Climb on top of?" I wonder what happened to get that added.
Fuck everyone who uses "unalive" with zero sense of irony. Fucking socmed algorithm brain poisoning.
Say "kill". Say "murder". Say "suicide". Say "rape". Say "pedophile". Say what you mean. If people need to not see or hear those words they'll use a filter.
(Or if you're on a platform where you feel like you're forced to elide a word, make it obvious you know you're being censored and don't use stupid euphemisms like it's a totally normal thing to do.)

It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.

Acabo de ver un milagro. Una rara excepción a la propaganda habitual que hacen en los noticiarios a favor de las empresas de seguridad, de alarmas, etc.
En esta ocasión han sacado a la dueña de la casa diciendo que no se entiende que teniendo conectada la alarma (mientras la cámara enfoca un cartel de la infausta Securitas Director) ha podido el ladrón entrar y pasearse por el jardín tranquilamente, robarles unos patinetes y salir de allí con toda la calma y sin que suene la dichosa alarma.
Pues me ha gustado. Dame más pelis como esta.

Madrid tamén ten episodios de protestas polo turismo masivo, o que pasa que se necesitan cantidades enormes de xente para que se note nunha cidade tan grande. Recordade como se protestaba polo ruído e as molestias durante as Jornadas Mundiales De La Juventud 2011da Igrexa Católica.
De paso, recordade os cánticos de BENNEEEE DICTOOOO EQUIS UVE PALITO PALITOOOO. Non ten nada que ver, pero eran moi graciosos.
Ya know what? I'm gonna toot my own horn today On Here Specifically.
I have already received at least a dozen thankful comments/replies for letting people know they can slow down door closers. A lot of people have been living with irritating bangs in apartment buildings and whatnot.
And thanks to watching a YouTube video, their life is now better. I didn't sell anything to them, I just decided to share some knowledge in my own (hopefully entertaining) way.

Qué maleducado, no me he presentado.
¡Hola! Me llamo Borja, soy un hombre de cuarentaytantos, vivo en Barcelona y soy originalmente de Madrid. Vivo bastante online, y ahora mismo lo que más disfruto en la vida es la lectura, así que en principio los libros serán mi tema por aquí.
Llevo un par de meses en esta cuenta de Mastodon pero hasta ahora no había escrito nada. Quiero ir adaptándome a este internet más pausado y humano, a ver qué tal se me da (espero que bien) ❤
Boas xentes de por aquí 😇 eu son Laura, son de Madrid, pero vivo na Coruña (e falo galego☺️). Son xornalista, leo e escribo poesía e gústame saír á montaña, escalar, observar aves e ir de foliada (e bailar e ogallá aprender a tocar a pandeireta).
Ademáis, interésame a tecnoloxía e fixen investigacións sobre redes sociais, educación e feminismo. Estou aquí porque teño a ilusión de vivir nunha internet diferente que nos permita falar de verdade e imaxinar xuntas mundos mellores.

in reply to Pratik Patel • • •This is not to suggest that automatic descriptions aren't useful. Several tools available to #blind people are now capable of providing a good idea of the contents of photos when no descriptions are available. Apps and hardware are able to analyze photos and videos for quick access to the environment when this wasn't possible short time ago.
Even though these tools exist, automatic #descriptions should not be a substitute for alt text.

in reply to Pratik Patel • • •For this experiment, I asked several friends to send me photos and share #descriptions with me.
To give you one example, I was sent a photo of a table surface with a small coffee pot and a cup of coffee with foam on top. The table also had a plate of cookies, muffins, and croissants.
The #AI description described the drink in the coffee cup as a yogurt-based concoction. It also missed the cookies on the plate.
