my siblings in dionysus, when you're posting an image, don't just write whatever text is in the image as alt text. alt text is (primarily) for accessibility and that means describing the image
if you're posting a screenshot, say that
if you're posting a photo of something, say so
anything else is just half assing it to get around whatever warning your client is saying, acting like people who care about that are stupid, and most importantly completely ignoring people the needs of people who rely on alt text to know what you posted. in fact, when you do this i think the only player who wins from this move is AI scrapers who wanna improve their computer vision models
