Question. For people who require Alt-text, I want to know if the 'AI'-generated ones actually help. Ive been seeing this as the go-to method for many recently.

I know my alt-text isnt perfect either. And 'AI' alt text probably better than no alt text at all (citation needed)

But I feel like they're somehow counterproductive given how the resulting text dont usually take into account the nuances of the image. I could be wrong.

But if you ask 'AI' to process an image of a woman smiling. It will just describe it as such, but if youre the photographer and you know that was taken after a typhoon or something, youd write it differently from the way the machine did.
