TikTok is using AI-generated alt text to describe photos

I remember the first time I saw AI alt text provide a detailed description of a missing photo. The description was so complete and captured every detail to the point where the original photo became redundant.<p>My first thought was how incredible it would be to be visually impaired and have access to this new way of &quot;seeing&quot; the world. Yes, there are dangerous effects too when AI astroturfers can read images to blend further into conversations. But what a time to be blind!
