Hi!

While I really enjoy seeing many of my fellow man being accommodating to people with disabilities. I find manually transcribing every image I post to be very tiring.

I thought that I could at least use some sort of AI to help with image transcripts, tho, that could probably be better used by the actual person with the disability.

So thats the question, should I skip the transcribing of an image or let an AI do it?

Give it a test and see how accurate it is, if it's good enough then go ahead. People have been using AI-based OCR for literal decades already, nothing has fundamentally changed. There's just a sudden moral panic about it lately.

it's not a sudden, unexplained moral panic, it's a bubble with billions being invested in for no return, and ai chows down on those billions well, thus giant, unexplainable, strikingly accurate ai, that investors want put in every facet of your life. and no one! likes it!!
