Is this request for inclusionary, language, or visual impairment purposes, or is it to help AI models learn stuff or something? Just curious. Thanks.
I never thought about AI models in that context, but that is actually an interesting perspective! I hope ot does not get scraped tho
Do you mind if I ask what the benefits of the descriptions are for you? I have a business website that I try and keep as accessible as possible for everyone, and was wondering if it helps with a certain type of accessibility issue I haven’t heard or thought of. Again, thanks!
I want at least some of the communities i moderate to be more accessible. I think image descriptions benefit those with vision impairment, low bandwith and in case of a broken image link / image server. I dont have any direct personal benefit from that.
Sweet, thanks for the feedback. I’m always on the lookout for ways to keep things more accessible. Cheers!
Yes. The intent is for first, but it helps the latter as a side effect.
