A toot from Micr0byte @micr0@wetdry.world about turning off his "altbot" AI image description bot, in response to this thread starting with a toot from @anantagd@ieji.de talking about what, as a blind user, they'd like to see in alt text, and how the altbot was creating the opposite of that.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
