  • Key Points

    • The author is unsure about how much alt-text is optimal for images.
    • They have no problem writing a lot and have the means to do so.
    • The author uses Hubzilla, which has no limit on post or alt-text length.
    • They prioritize accessibility and provide full transcriptions of all texts in a picture.
    • The author posts pictures to illustrate their posts, not as the main focus.
    • Virtual world pictures often require more description due to unfamiliar objects or locations.
    • There are two schools of thought on alt-text: clear and concise vs. full description.
    • Alt-text can enhance accessibility for all users, not just those with visual impairments.







  • My area has 40 years of studies behind it with a heap of science online. I’m always surprised that AI do so badly with it. If I can work it out by reading through study after study, AI should piss it in.

    The good thing about perplexity is that it sources itself so you can check it. Others just give you the answer and if you don’t know much, you dont know if it’s wrong or not (better than no sources, I feel). I’ve also asked someone who is the world leader in my field to figure out when it starts giving completely wrong answers and in what area.

    Is what you’re searching more of an in-field technique or would there be webpages or studies devoted to it?
