How is your alt text? Do you know about the setting so that it requires you to post alt text on your photos and images? Are you posting stupid alt text that doesn’t do a good job?

This is the most important thing in the whole world and everyone must read it immediately!
A photo with a block of indecipherable yellow wingding icon text. It is intended as an illustration of what it’s like when an image of a tweet or news article has no alt text.

We aren’t big fans of AI, but we live in a world where it’s a thing. So we are testing OpenAI’s ability to generate alt text of common images.

We think it did ok. We would have added context that it’s the common “doge” meme and described that a bit.

1st one:
OpenAI wrote this image description: A Shiba Inu sitting upright on a light-colored couch with its front paws crossed, giving a wide-eyed, suspicious side-glance. A blurred human hand reaches into the frame near the dog. We would have written something like: A light brown Shiba Inu dog on a light-colored couch with its front paws crossed. The dog is giving the viewer a wide-eyed, side-long, ambiguous look that many people view as surprised, amused, or dubious. The image is used for the popular 2014 “Doge” reaction meme, and is often accompanied by amusing, grammatically incorrect expressions such as “so dog” and “much wow”.

Only discriminatory, ableist pieces of human garbage offer images without alt text
Screenshot of a BluSky post by Krystal Kavita Jagoo, MSW (Being much kinder than I am about pointing out the grossly disrespectful and clearly intentionally discriminatory misbehavior of offering images without alt text) "Please consider adding alt text to posts with images as folx who rely on screen readers for vision loss deserve equitable access to information, & you can update your settings on BlueSky so that you cannot post images without alt text, so you are prompted to add it if you might otherwise forget!"

Black text on a white background. The text reads: ALT Alt text describes images for blind and low-vision users, and helps give context to everyone.
