Hi!

While I really enjoy seeing many of my fellow man being accommodating to people with disabilities. I find manually transcribing every image I post to be very tiring.

I thought that I could at least use some sort of AI to help with image transcripts, tho, that could probably be better used by the actual person with the disability.

So thats the question, should I skip the transcribing of an image or let an AI do it?

    Eh? There’s plenty of non-“AI”-powered OCR, isn’t there? Like, that’s been a thing since long before “AI” slop generators.

    (Like, mayyyybe there’s some kind of machine learning component, but even IF there is, surely you don’t have to run it through a slop generator to get a transcription?)

      Almost all OCR tools use machine learning AFAIK, the commonly used Tesseract OCR software also uses a neural network.

      It certainly isn’t AGI, but AI just means machine learning nowadays.
