If they could draw or make music, they wouldn’t need a robot to do it, and they clearly want to but don’t have the skills.

    I don’t personally use llms anymore, but when I did, it was for use cases where either I wanted a thing to be reasonably easy/fast or I would do without (a character sketch for DnD) or for visual representations that quick google searches weren’t turning up.

    I watched a video where someone sent AI images to dress makers so they could make dresses. If I wanted a very specific type of dress, and I can’t draw this seems like a great way to communicate my desires and intentions.

      I realize I’m a little bit of a liar. I will sometimes use Be My AI to help alt-text/caption pictures that happen to have a lot going on. So they get a list of snacks instead of something like “table with various snacks”.

        So just FYI the rule of thumb with alt text that I’ve heard is: imagine you’re describing the picture you’re looking at to someone you’re talking on the phone with.

        So that usually means keeping it brief and precise to only the aspects which are relevant to the context it’s being posted in.

        Sorry if you’ve heard this already, but yet helped me a lot.

          I upvote you because yes, but also I have a few light independent (non sighted) coworkers who like all the details.

            So if I was making a website or posting to Facebook it’s probably table of snacks. But since it’s people whose preference I know and who were there I’ll go all out and ask AI to give all details
