Alt: Cookie Monster, a blue, furry Muppet from Sesame Street, covering his googly eyes in what is likely cookie-related dismay. Before I edited this, the default text read, "a cookie monster from sesame street is smiling and looking at the camera." What do they mean "a cookie monster"? Is there more than one Cookie Monster? Also, although one could argue that his puppet mouth looks like a fixed smile, the gif is clearly cut to show how unhappy he is. I don't think these default alt text messages could be AI since they're uncapitalized and rife with typos and logical errors. Where do these come from? Why do they suck so bad?

Alt: Pomni, a cartoon jester in a cap-and-bells costume of primary colors, standing with a hunched anxious posture on a light brown floor with a red stage curtain behind her. She is staring wall-eyed at nothing.

Alt: Garfield, an animated orange cat with black stripes, flopping face-first into his red cat bed. His blue blanket is crumpled to one side. Garfield has never held a job, nor has he paid taxes. In spite of this, he still understands the daunting challenge of existing on Mondays.
