The relentless assault of bad news... overwhelming.
My twins dealing with their Crohn's flare ups... overwhelming.
I just got the professional photos of #LaffysBigTownhouseRenovation... finally. Might be a good time to post them.
There are so many. I'll post befores/afters, but it'll be a lot and take awhile. And I doubt I can alt text each one. I may need your help there.
It'll be one long thread under the above hashtag. I'll number the posts.
@SnowshadowII@beige.party@GottaLaff Try the alt text bot?
@SnowshadowII How does that work?
Very well, just minor editing necessary.
1) Upload a pic, address at @altbot as "private"
2) wait for the reply (might take quite some time), edit
3) Generate the post, using the reply
OR
1) right your post as usual, type cc @altbot
add [#AltText will be added]
2) Upload and wait
3) return to you post copying the bots suggested text
4) delete the @altbot references (or their might be awkward messages to the people replying in the convoy)
@HistoPol @GottaLaff @SnowshadowII @altbot@fuzzies.wtf using Google AI? Block block block.... Alttext is part of the growing problem 
@bob It's google? 
Did not know. Thanks.
@HistoPol @GottaLaff
Laffy, write your own alt text or type out alttext4Me
Typing #AltText4Me is a 2nd-best, but easier alternative, methinks. ;)
@HistoPol @SnowshadowII @GottaLaff
How does that work? Not seeing a bot or anything connected to the hashtag 
?
@bob It encourages others to help me out. @HistoPol @SnowshadowII
@bob
The hashtag is monitored and volunteers add altext in the replies.

@SnowshadowII @HistoPol @GottaLaff
Oh, okay so HUMANS work it!!!! 
@bob Yes. You see a post with that hashtag then if you can, send a reply with a description. Community hive work.
Yes, and even less work for the post creator.
Apart from that:
However, I don't see much sense in it anymore, as the AI chatbot #AltBot, in my view, works above-average(!) of human contributors.--Proof-reading and editing its suggestion is far more efficient and, I think, leads to, on average, better results.
@SnowshadowII @HistoPol @GottaLaff
According to the bot profile, they use the Google AI
@HistoPol I see all the replies.
Plus, it would take me forever. I apologize to alt text readers, but sometimes I can't accommodate.
I'm not sure whether you saw the output of #AltBot, here it is, unedited:
"A black background has a large, upside-down red triangle in the center. The triangle is textured with cracks and red paint. The following text is in a white, sans-serif font: "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH", "FREEDOM IS SLAVERY", and "WAR IS PEACE". Underneath the text, in smaller, black text is "Jazz Beitler". Below that,...

I find it quite good, it even found "Jazz Beitler" in the background.

@HistoPol Here's an alt-text description for the image:

@Fragarach @SnowshadowII What alt text bot?
If I have a photo, I have to describe it.
@GottaLaff @SnowshadowII
If I post an image, and mention @altbot it should add another post with a description.
@GottaLaff @SnowshadowII @altbot
Or maybe not...
@Fragarach A medium shot shows a person walking away from the viewer with two dogs in a large open frosty field. The person is wearing a dark jacket and pants, with their head a dark silhouette. The field is mostly brown, with a clear path leading away from the viewer towards a line of trees in the distance. The sun is rising on the left side of the image, casting a warm glow on the trees and sky. The sky is a mix of light blue and white clouds. The two dogs are in the foreground, one walking towards the viewer and the other lying down.
