@eri @zebo I like how that person just pulled out the 0 cost thing out of their ass to be sassy and contrarian and all it did was prompt the exact opposite information to come to light

@chalkllate@wolfdo.gg @eri@mk.moth.zone @zebo@akkoma.kawaiizenbo.me i'm reporting you

@tauon @zebo @chalkllate @eri how come?

@max@wetdry.world @zebo@akkoma.kawaiizenbo.me @chalkllate@wolfdo.gg @eri@mk.moth.zone being an asshole

@tauon @zebo @chalkllate @eri i feel like the first entity was the one being an asshole

@max@wetdry.world @zebo@akkoma.kawaiizenbo.me @chalkllate@wolfdo.gg @eri@mk.moth.zone i don't see how that is

@tauon @zebo @chalkllate @eri it seems to me like they're steamrolling over anyone who might find it impossible or prohibitively difficult to write alt text for disability reasons?

it's also a pretty low-effort, rude response to someone who put a ton of effort into making a bot with their own time and money solely because they thought the fediverse could benefit from it, even setting aside the fact that they now have to beg people not to DDoS it.

on top of that, like other people in this thread have mentioned, running a fediverse server on an old desktop with a ~30w average power consumption would consume this much energy in just under two weeks.

@max@wetdry.world @zebo@akkoma.kawaiizenbo.me @chalkllate@wolfdo.gg @eri@mk.moth.zone also as someone who finds it incredibly difficult to write alt text you are being ableist by using it as an argument

@tauon@possum.city @max@wetdry.world @zebo@akkoma.kawaiizenbo.me @chalkllate@wolfdo.gg @eri@mk.moth.zone you're just disregarding the point max is making when saying this and the then "ai bro" reply. If an efficient bot can help me write meaningful alt text, even if it's AI, I'll take it. I'm also perfectly happy to have other people give me tips or suggestions. But regardless, I struggle to properly describe things in a way that isn't just "this is a photo of this thing and it says this", and this bot would be quite helpful.

@tauon@possum.city @max@wetdry.world @zebo@akkoma.kawaiizenbo.me @chalkllate@wolfdo.gg @eri@mk.moth.zone "this is literally enough" I've been told before that my alt text is so poor that I might a well not have any, or that I'm excluding people by not providing a detailed enough description of the image. I guess you can't please everyone?

If the sort of descriptions it's spitting out are as simple as the ones listed then yeah fair enough it's a bit redundant, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it giving out texts better than that before. I haven't actually seen much of the bot in action though so unsure

@max@wetdry.world @nex@fedi.transgender.ing @zebo@akkoma.kawaiizenbo.me @chalkllate@wolfdo.gg @eri@mk.moth.zone bro no one posted anything for 3 hours we're good

@tauon @zebo @chalkllate @nex @eri i did but you sort of ignored it lol

@max@wetdry.world @zebo@akkoma.kawaiizenbo.me @chalkllate@wolfdo.gg @nex@fedi.transgender.ing @eri@mk.moth.zone i probably didn't see it or forgot to answer
