    Me, looking at funny memes about how the world is being swallowed up by a cyberpunk/totalitarian dystopia.

    The AI description of this picture is “A protester in a jacket with a polo jacket meets a mounted policeman with a baton.”

      I actually wrote that myself. Not very descriptive or imaginative, I know.

      edit; TBF it says polo logo

        Ah… I always figured those were AI captions. I actually thought it was brilliant in its understatement.

          Automatically adding captions for pictures whose uploaders fail to do it manually (something which I am almost always guilty of, BTW) would actually be a worthwhile use of AI.

            I use a third-party browsing client, and I honestly assumed it was an accessibility feature provided by the app. Either way, it’s a really nice addition, and now that I know it’s “hand made” by users, I’m even more impressed with the community for using it.

              Alt-text has been a feature of HTML since the beginning, or very close to it – as in, in addition to accessibility it was initially important for understanding what images were showing before they loaded in over your dial-up modem. Lemmy Markdown supporting it isn’t an unusual feature either, AFAIK; what’s unusual is how many users here are actually motivated to fill it in.

            Not really: AI are uhable to extract any meaning in an image, and will produce some gibberish text describing heavily some unimportant details while leaving the most important thing that needs to be described
