@mawhrin@circumstances.run This may be slightly tangential to your complaint, but I oversee ebook production for a uni press. Our conversion vendors are all-in on developing AI-based systems for providing alt-text. We've tried it for some of our backlist (where we can't go back to the author), and as you might guess, it's not great. So I have to review and edit the results. It will not surprise you that when it is wrong it can be very wrong. I've got a list of a few hundred titles I need to process. This will not be fun. I envision that at some point, the reading systems are going to try to implement doing this on the fly. That's going to suck.
