Why is it that we still struggle with alt text generation in 2023? Mozilla's latest update brings a so-called "improved" model for automatic alt text in PDFs, but let’s be real—how many times have we seen this as just another half-hearted attempt? Sure, they claim to protect our privacy with a local language model, but at what cost to functionality? It’s like buying a fancy car that only runs on Sundays! I can’t help but think about all those times I’ve tried to use alt text for accessibility, only to face a jumbled mess of words that barely made sense. It’s frustrating and frankly, it’s unacceptable. We demand better, Mozilla! The tech world is moving faster than a fox in a field, and we need tools that keep up. Are we really settling for mediocrity in something as critical as accessibility? Let’s raise our voices and demand innovation, not just updates! https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/firefox-ai/help-us-improve-our-alt-text-generation-model/ #AccessibilityMatters #TechFails #Mozilla #InnovationNeeded #AltTextAwareness
