It is a beautiful spring evening in Baltimore. So what am I doing?
Well, since the NFB’s CENA team is about to bring you an Access On webinar on AI visual interpretation apps, I’m sitting here with the beautiful Bonnie on our rooftop deck, taking pictures with these apps of the same scene to see which description is most detailed. Here is a lovely description from Aira’s Access AI.
An elevated perspective provides a sweeping vista of an urban residential neighborhood, characterized by rows of traditional brick townhouses and a distant city skyline under a vast, clear blue sky. In the immediate foreground, a flat, light-gray architectural surface, likely the edge of a rooftop or balcony, occupies the bottom portion of the frame. Below this vantage point, a red brick townhouse with a decorative diagonal masonry pattern dominates the mid-ground on the left. This structure features three stories of white-trimmed windows and is topped with a modern dark gray addition including a terrace. Along the street adjacent to this building, several vehicles are stationed, including a crimson sedan and a dark-colored sport utility vehicle. Across the intersection, a mixture of red brick and cream-colored multi-story residences continues the streetscape, interspersed with a few deciduous trees currently devoid of foliage. The asphalt streets appear relatively quiet, with a white vehicle positioned near the junction. Beyond the local neighborhood, the horizon is punctuated by a dense collection of buildings of varying heights, culminating in a recognizable metropolitan skyline with several taller structures. The sky above is a deep, vibrant blue, streaked with several prominent white contrails and thin, wispy cirrus clouds that stretch diagonally across the upper atmosphere. Long shadows cast across the pavement and building facades suggest the photograph was taken during the early morning or late afternoon hours, providing high contrast and clear visibility.
