Oh, that didn't take much digging. They asked people to solve stupid fraction problems. One group got to ask AI, the other group didn't. Then they took the AI away from the AI group. Those people started fucking off. The non-AI group didn't magically know it was time to start fucking off.

I guess public execution was popular everywhere until relatively recently. I hadn’t realised how much of a public spectacle lynchings were in the US. Australian colonial violence was more about dispossession of land, and arguably, genocide. Thanks for the context, sad as it is.

Interesting question. For images with no alt text otherwise, it's better than nothing, but all the tools I've seen so far would fail on context, tone and humour, so a human editor is still important for this kind of accessibility I think

This is absolutely fucked

I don't like to be preachy and I don't judge you if you don't write alt text. But it's actually a fun and rewarding mental exercise to slow down and write about the image you're posting, while improving accessibility for people who need it. And to sneak in a bonus joke, you funny bastard.

Alt text shouldn't add new information, or provide too much commentary, or describe in excruciating detail things that aren't the point of the picture. You're ruining it!

Alt text for well-known meme formats are easy. E.g. you can say it's a "distracted boyfriend meme" and just describe the labels. Low effort memes can have low effort alt text, as long as it has the same information, that's equitable and matches the tone.

Alt text doesn't need to be clinical or lengthy. Match the tone of the picture. Crucially, don't explain jokes. Just give enough information to get the joke. Screen reader users deserve a laugh too, come on.
