TalkBack does not offer an option to use computer vision & LLMs (“AI” for the scope of this thread) to describe images lacking alt text.
If you do it in Chrome, it overwrites all the good alt text with, well, crap.

AI shopping assistants now pick sizes and fill carts for you.
WebExpo 2023 speaker @tink.uk asked a bold question. If agents browse for us, what even is the web now?
She zoomed in on what this means for accessibility and why the next UX challenge may involve non-human users.

Accessibility and the agentic web - TetraLogical
Imagine being in a department store that sells clothes from multiple brands and having a personal shopping assistant to help you select the clothes you want to buy. As a blind person, that's about the only way it's possible to go clothes shopping, independently at least, but few stores offer such a service, so you resort to shopping online.
