Firefox 130 is bringing a game-changing feature: automatic alt-text generation for images using a fully private on-device AI model! 
Initially available in the built-in PDF editor, our aim is to extend this to general browsing for screen reader users. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2024/05/experimenting-with-local-alt-text-generation-in-firefox-nightly/
@javielico@social.coop@mozilla I've serious concerns about this. I get that most likely other browsers will do it, but I feel like if we let people generate alt captions via AI models the people who will benefit from those captions will most likely miss out of the details that only a human looking at an image will actually see and be able express? If anything the AI model will make things up and explain things in such detail that might not be relevant to the actual image/scene itself.
