11 months agoWriting good alt text is more than just identifying the objects in an image. It requires some understanding of the context around why the image is being included. Harvard provides some great advice for humans to do this well at https://accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-content-images.
Unless Elon puts Tesla’s FSD team on this problem, it will be many years before AI can do this well. With the FSD team on it, it would only take a decade.

@ardi60@reddthat.com This has not been my experience at all. There was/is a lot of spam lingering on KBin long after it was removed from the federated source. I don’t know if that’s an issue with the removal being done in an unfederated way (bulk deletes at the db level), a sync issue cause by the recent kbin.social outages or just a general federation bug.
My kbin.social account has been @'ed in hundreds of comments and some of the most popular Kbin magazine where Earnest remains the sole moderator were flooded with spam.
Even this morning I tried reporting spam from a kbin.social account only to be told it had already been report… and yet 16 hours later the bot is still posting with this account.
I’m glad you’ve found kbin.social usable through all this, but the spam is tbere.
