@congusbongus @BeAware @FediTips Not in the slightest.

I use AI all the time for things like reading cooking instructions, describing pictures, even some video descriptions.

If someone feels more comfortable using AI to get that image description so that I might be able to enjoy the content too, then I fully support this.

Also, prompting comes into play. Prompting with something like, "describe this picture to someone who is blind or has a visual impairment," will get the results we usually need.

There are apps like Seeing AI and Be My AI that use custom prompts to extract information from pictures that are basically GPT with custom prompts, really no different than what BeAware here and others do, at least at a basic level.

AI descriptions have opened up sooooo many new doors to all of us with visual disabilities or cognative impairments, and honestly the people who usually complain about it are the people who's lives haven't been impacted for the better thanks to advances in this kind of tech.
