wlo in the trenches being overwhelmingly polite and reasonable against a horde of hysterical moralists

of course there are considerations of quality and contextual awareness in things like automated alt text and it’s tasteful ux implementation, but those are largely empirical. whats really interesting and revealing is the judgements of acceptable conditions and the arguments used to support them
to be concrete like, “it should always be human guys makin it, even if that means only 10% of images get alt text”, and you can justify that with “low quality” but then you’re up against improvements, or challenged with “isn’t something better than nothing?” which to be fair might not be true!
