     Automate your #AltText with @AltBot, e.g.:

     "A man in a black and gold brocade 18th-century-style coat stands in front of a dark wooden door and a brick wall. He's wearing a black waistcoat, breeches, and black shoes with gold buckles.  His wig is styled in a powdered, shoulder-length fashion. He holds a black feathered hat in his left hand.

     Provided by @altbot, generated using Gemini"

     @HistoPol why can't the person who needs the alt text not do that? a blind person with a screen reader will have such a setup anyway

     @kaia @HistoPol Actually, auto-generated alt texts are often not great because alt-text is context-dependant (you won’t describe an image the same depending on why it is used). This case may be an exception where the photo’s interest is itself, but that’s not always the case (and even, often not the case). So AI-generated alt texts are actually not a so good idea…

     IDK.
     I have several vision-impaired followers
     No-one ever mentioned it.

     Besides, it's a rights in an age meant issue:
     If I link you your pictured posts tagging @altbot , you will get a mandatory authorization request.
     Quite nice from that legal perspective
     Not do much for people with vision impairments, though, Kaia.

     Thanks, Amaury.

     I'd like to amend what you state, though:

     "...for the use by vision-impsired people."

     That is different for "able-bodied" content publishers, though:

     I've made dozens oft tests now, and I can state that I'm saving a great deal of time.
     I simply proofread and amend...an about -90% reduction in my #AltText generation time. :)

     @HistoPol

     Indeed—I was answering the “people who need alts can locally IA-compute them so publishers don’t have to“ part only.

     As long as there is some human review for alt text relevance in-context, yeah, why not using that for a draft. I personally write alts faster by hand—it’s often quite short—, but, for everyone their tools!
