If you are posting #photos regularly but get tired of describing them in #alttext (like me): I wrote a little frontend to astica.ai so that the description is generated automatically.

@Franz Graf Now I'm wondering how Astica might fare in comparison to my own #ImageDescriptions. If it can produce something at least as detailed and informative within seconds as I can within two hours or more.

@jupiter_rowland
That was the question I had to answer myself as well ?

@Franz Graf That is, I think it does have its limitations in comparison with a human writing an #ImageDescription.

I've got my doubts that it can correctly identify, name and explain things which over 99% of all Fediverse users don't even know. And I'm certain that it can't transcribe text that's illegible or even so small it's basically invisible. I can do that because I can transcribe it by visiting the place where the picture in question was taken.
