       @tarkowski This is fascinating, Alek, it has never been clear how the sources contribute to output. I have been chasing the ways to attribute generated images, the ToS from commercial firms seem to change weekly.

       @tarkowski That's my hunch too. Since we have no intuitive mental model understanding of what the black boxes are doing, I feel we are framing it on the familiar practice of sampling or copying bits of an original.I feel like its creating these over some crazy amount of iteration and variation compared statistically to training sources-- is this copying or something else?

       @clive Thanks for the friend link! Been on similar path. There's no single right way to write alt-text, but the wrong way is writing none.The object-action-context approach was helpful for mehttps://uxdesign.cc/how-to-write-an-image-description-2f30d3bf5546I liked this perspective on the poetic approachhttps://akimbo.ca/akimblog/alt-text-ambiguity-a-poetic-approach-to-image-description-by-alex-haagaard-and-liz-jackson/

       @clive I've played with a bookmarklet that blurs images lacking alt and there are extensions that identify gaps, but...What I'd like to see is one that replaces all images with alt text and then you have to hover to see the image.Flip the experience.

       Since an upgrade on my old laptop nuked my last 2010? purchased copy of MS Office every document, sheet I’ve needed to pry open has worked effortlessly in LibreOffice. It turns out to be a useful multi tool for opening and converting old and odd file types. Free as in no MSoft

       @lightweight yeah! I was unable to pry open my thesis written in Word 3 until I tried LibreOffice, which also was able to convert the figured saves as Mac PICT files.
