FWIW, I haven't confirmed this but I think Threads' is using AI to automatically add alt-text to images that don't have it- at least for the federated images based on the weird descriptions I've seen on some of them.
I'm not sure if that's better or worse than having no alt text whatsoever.
@tom@tomkahe.com oooh interesting Tom but I rarely see alt text in the Threads app. Not sure what’s going on
@_elena@mastodon.social Yeah not sure if this shows up in the Threads app if alt text enabled, but for example this post: https://www.threads.net/@potus/post/DA9LEMtKYHl
has the alt text: "Photo by President Joe Biden on October 10, 2024. May be a black-and-white image of 1 person, smoking, the Oval Office and office." when viewed from my mastodon instance
