@sarcassem @matt @jarrod This looks really cool but I’m still on the waitlist for ChatGPT 4 so can’t try it yet. I think I’m most interested in building some “fallback” alt text when it isn’t entered manually.
@manton @sarcassem @jarrod For sure! no post can sum up all my thoughts on this, but I think we're on similar pages. Having to go to ChatGPT to do this is silly, and the ideal solution IMO would:
1. Suggest alt text to people who need it when posting a photo
2. Provide a description to people reading a post with an image without alt text
@matt Agreed. I think #2 will be our focus to start with. Would be pretty incredible to have essentially 100% coverage for visually impaired folks, even if it’s imperfect sometimes.
@manton For sure. Google is working on building this into Android and you have to think Apple would do something similar in the future https://www.engadget.com/googles-latest-android-update-includes-ai-created-image-descriptions-and-animations-for-voice-messages-172522129.html
