Charlotte Joanne<p>I frequently see people asking, even demanding, that AI-generated Alt Text stop. If those folks clearly have usable vision, I block them and move on – life’s too short for preachy whining from people who don’t rely on Alt Text. </p><p>But when it’s a blind person saying this, I’m surprised. As a blind person myself, I know that 99% of the images I encounter online lack any description. Now, with a suite of AI tools, I can finally generate accessible, usable image descriptions. Are they perfect? No. Computer vision isn’t sight, but it’s made staggering progress – beyond what I ever expected. And if I need more clarity, I can always consult a human through these same tools.</p><p>Blind people slamming AI-generated Alt Text isn’t helping. We need these systems to improve, not disappear. The reality is, expecting every image to have a human-created description is unrealistic. Let’s push for better technology, not bash what’s already making a difference.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BeMyAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeMyAI</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BeMyEyes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeMyEyes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AccessAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AccessAI</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ComputerVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerVision</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AssistiveTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AssistiveTech</span></a></p>
