Images of text make training AI more expensive (fedia.io)

Because the AI has to do the work of translating the image to text before deciding what to do with it

It also makes content inaccessible to the blind who use screen readers.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, maybe they should learn how to read. Jeez.

[–] S13Ni@lemmy.studio 13 points 6 months ago

So start normalizing using ffmpeg to type in whatever you want to say, and render it as a video with just static text on white background to make it even more expensive?

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just insert motherducker random profanity in your text.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I shit like the way you think-fuck.

Which is why the AI companies surreptitiously convinced gullible people that they had to transcribe all their memes, jokes, comics etc "to help near-sighted people and boost inclusiveness" or whatever and the daft cunts were so desperate to feel morally superior they fell for it hook, line and sinker

Wait, we have this on Lemmy too. Is Lemmy an AI-wielding corporate fuckfest as well?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

No, people just want to help out the vision impaired. Hail corporate, I guess?

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah, I think it’s the decent thing to do, ever since the early days of alt in html. I do hope it’s useful to humans, but it’s probably also true that AI is vacuuming it all up as well.

This is my one "insane belief that I'm positive will be proven true in a few years" and I'm sticking to it.

Everyone's got one 😂

How many times have you seen a comment "Thanks for the transcript!"? I think I've seen one once

Blind folk aren't reading memes, they're listening to podcasts and audiobooks. Think about it. A transcribed meme isn't funny in the slightest so what would be the point?

The ai companies got themselves a ton of free labour

I'm not going to say "die on this hill" because it's more of a mountain but yeah

I sincerely hope you never go blind. Or you know what, I hope you have to deal with the inconveniences you’re trumpeting to let you feel how it really is.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Partially sighted, and it's my biggest fear

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Then what the fuck are you on about? You either have some self-loathing issues or didn’t communicate your point correctly.
