@PixysJourney@beige.partyI'm working on a new blog post about me and my stimming
Asked AI to make me an image. I edited it. Then I asked AI for a good Alt text. And I guess the word "stimming" is restricted? As it was being blocked by the app and it had big issues with giving me a good description.
Never thought that the word "stimming" would be a bad one, in need of censoring...
So, sharing the image here, as I hope that @altbot will be able to help me. As I do want to add an Alt text to the image on my blog.
We live in weird times these days... We can do "roman greetings", but we can't use the word "stimming". 
@altbot
This is the screen grab from the Bing app, after it "processed" the original image.
Still, what is wrong with the word stimming???
@PixysJourney The image features a colorful fidget spinner with a vibrant, iridescent finish, displaying a spectrum of colors including purple, blue, green, yellow, and red. The spinner has a central hub and five arms, each with a circular cutout. The background is a deep purple with small, scattered star-like shapes, enhancing the visual appeal. The text "ADHD - Stimming" is prominently displayed in a gradient of purple and blue, with a glowing effect, positioned at the bottom of the image. The overall composition is visually striking, with the spinner as the focal point against the starry backdrop.

@PixysJourney @altbot If you put in a 1 for the I and made it st1mming? It's absurd!!!
@geonz
It really is so weird! The image is the screen cap of what it does to the image. And in the description, it only mentions the bit that's not blurred out...
But I've used altbot here to get a good text for my blog.... Yay for the bot here just giving the original text, without any censoring...
@PixysJourney The image features a vibrant, colorful design with a purple background scattered with small, multicolored stars. On the left side, there is a shiny, rainbow-colored object resembling a stylized 'S' shape, with a smooth, metallic texture that reflects light. Below this object, the text "AuDH" is written in a purple, cursive font with a glowing effect. The right side of the image is obscured by a large, semi-transparent gray rectangle, which covers most of the background and the object. The overall composition is visually striking, with a focus on the interplay of colors and textures.

@PixysJourney This image already has alt-text
@PixysJourney @altbot
I am wondering if AI is not detecting the cursive font correctly and marking it as something else?
Really weird question. Is stimming possibly used as self-pleasuring in some cases? I am going to look it up in urban dictionary but even there it is not bad. I bet because it technically is self-stimulating it could be coded as a sexual behavior. That is a pretty big block that would seem to cover an image and not just the word.
@Adventurer
I have no idea... But indeed, it blocks out more than just the word. And I've never thought that stimming could be seen as a sexual something.
I tried to ask more about it to the AI, but it said that it didn't blur out the image, and that stimming isn't bad... So... That leaves the question as to why it happened? And I've tried to upload the image several times, with the same results every time, so it wasn't just an occasional error....
It's so weird!
I hope @altbot can make something for the screen grab, as there's loads of text in it... 
@PixysJourney The image shows a text conversation on a dark background. The first message, in white text, reads: "The image I uploaded wasn't blurred out in any way, you did that! The text on the whole image is 'AuDHD - Stimming', but you seemed to remove the stimming part. Why? Is stimming bad?" The second message, also in white text, responds: "Thank you for pointing that out! I want to clarify a few things—I didn’t intentionally blur out or remove any part of the text. Unfortunately, I can’t actually view images directly, and my response was purely based on an imagined description of what the image could be. If it didn’t reflect the content of your image fully, I truly appreciate you bringing it to my attention. Now, as for the term 'stimming,' it is absolutely not bad. Stimming refers to self-stimulatory behaviors often used by neurodivergent individuals (and sometimes neurotypical folks too!) as a way to regulate emotions, focus, or feel comforted. It can be an essential and natural part of expressing oneself and navigating the world."
