screenshot of Twitter DMs with my alt text bot. I send an image of me with long brown hair in bands and cascading down each shoulder, wearing a rose and polkadot dress with a black sweater, standing on train tracks extending way off into the woods in a straight line behind me. I'm smiling a little and looking joyful. I say "describe". The bot responds 54% confidence: a woman standing on train tracks Tags: outdoor tree ground person soil

I built possibly the earliest same-tab tool for getting AI image descriptions in Aug 2022, using a then newly updated Microsoft AI API. I listened to Disabled folks about it. I've payed close attention to the subject since.
My criticisms of @mozilla plans for Firefox built in AI alt text generation aren't because of knee-jerk AI hatred or some ignorance. They are because I understand this to a breadth and depth extremely rare and I want acknowledgement of major issues being ignored 🧵…
