@peacememories @mozilla iOS and Android have been using similar models for quite some time and the descriptions have been proven useful. Firefox isn't reinventing the wheel here, they are matching what the industry has already been doing for years. Blind and visually impaired people rely on AI generated alt text all the time already. Of course human provided alt text is preferred, but in the grand scheme of the internet it is still really rare, despite decades of education regarding the topic :/

@anreji @mozilla I see similar problems with what Apple and Google are doing, but I had higher expectations of Mozilla.
Let's recap: We have (hopefully) by now realized that text synthesis tools have no guaranteed accuracy. But the text they generate is in the style of an expert, because that's what they're trained on. So all indicators for a reader point to this generated alt-text being hand-generated and trustworthy.
