Notes from my Accessibility and Gen AI podcast appearence

March 4, 2025

I actually use Large Language Models for most of my alt text these days. Whenever I tweet an image or whatever, I’ve got a Claude project called Alt text writer. It’s got a prompt and an example. I dump an image in and it gives me the alt text.I very rarely just use it because that’s rude, right? You should never dump text onto people that you haven’t reviewed yourself. But it’s always a good starting point.
