Charlotte Joanne<p>I frequently see people asking, even demanding, that AI-generated Alt Text stop. If those folks clearly have usable vision, I block them and move on – life’s too short for preachy whining from people who don’t rely on Alt Text. </p><p>But when it’s a blind person saying this, I’m surprised. As a blind person myself, I know that 99% of the images I encounter online lack any description. Now, with a suite of AI tools, I can finally generate accessible, usable image descriptions. Are they perfect? No. Computer vision isn’t sight, but it’s made staggering progress – beyond what I ever expected. And if I need more clarity, I can always consult a human through these same tools.</p><p>Blind people slamming AI-generated Alt Text isn’t helping. We need these systems to improve, not disappear. The reality is, expecting every image to have a human-created description is unrealistic. Let’s push for better technology, not bash what’s already making a difference.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BeMyAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeMyAI</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BeMyEyes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeMyEyes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AccessAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AccessAI</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ComputerVision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerVision</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AssistiveTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AssistiveTech</span></a></p>

The Blind AI<p>**Final Toot: Cost Argument Against Glidance? Here’s Why That’s Silly!** 🤖💸</p><p>When it comes to affordability, Glidance stands out. For around $1,500 upfront and $20/month, it’s a fraction of the lifetime cost of a guide dog. 🐕❌💰 The only real drawback? You have to cover it yourself, unlike guide dogs, which are provided by charities like GDBA.</p><p>But arguing against Glidance based on cost alone misses the point. Guide dogs require substantial funding for training, care, and support. Glidance offers a more budget-friendly, tech-driven solution without the ongoing expenses. 🌐🦾</p><p>Plus, it empowers users by giving them direct access to a high-tech mobility aid without waiting for charity resources. That’s huge! While Glidance can’t replace the bond of a guide dog, it offers an affordable, reliable, and innovative alternative that could be the right fit for many. 🚶‍♀️💼</p><p>In the end, it’s all about choice. Glidance opens doors for those who may not have access to guide dogs, providing independence on their own terms. 💖 </p><p><a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Glidance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Glidance</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/GuideDogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GuideDogs</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/AssistiveTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AssistiveTech</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Blind</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Mobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mobility</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Inclusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inclusion</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Empowerment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Empowerment</span></a></p>
