I would like sighted people to see this thread in particular. There are actually a lot of blind people that prefer LLM descriptions over human ones but I have seen some very well written alt text on here. That being said, sighted people should read this thread applevis.com/forum/other-apple… #AI #AltText #Accessibility

Hi everyone! 💕 I wanted to share my thoughts and see if any of you have had similar experiences or feelings. As a blind person, I rely heavily on Alt Text for images to fully experience the digital world.www.applevis.com

I guess it should be clear that no AI can do in 30 seconds what took me up to two days.
