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!

@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…
