I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

It's killing me that everyone else is ridiculous but Garte just kinda looks like he cleaned up a bit
hey jae, could you add alt text for the images you post? As one of the preeminent figures on the site, frequently posting without alt text sets the tone for which kinds of people are welcome
good point, although fwiw i am at a loss for how to describe these specific images beyond "cuno from disco elysium run through QQ's anime AI filter thing"
that's super fair! and I appreciate your response :) For these, I would probably aim to describe the general vibes of the input and then contrast it with the output -- because that's most of the information I'm seeing from them. As an example, for the second one, I'd write something like:
Another side-by-side comparison. The input image (left) has a gaunt looking guy holding up a lit cigarette between his fingers, wearing a dark purplish shirt that's unbuttoned at the top. The output image (right) depicts an anime girl - her long hair has streaks of pink and purple and cyan, and she's wearing a vest-like thing with flowers.
Probably the first image would have a general description of the format as well, with later ones piggy-backing on it so you're not re-typing the same info (and a screenreader isn't re-reading it!).
Not all alt text needs to be this descriptive, of course! If you can't spend as long on it, try pick a few key things that the image conveys within the context. This webpage has a lot of good info: https://accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-content-images
Imagining bishonen Evrart talking with actual Evrart's voice is gonna haunt my sleepless night.
Omg evrart no! The ai can't concieve the surface area that his face has.
Man, what a reminder of how freakin' awesome the Disco Elysium art is! God. It kicks so much ass.
Disco Elysium's art is genuinely beautiful, including the art for relatively small side characters.
it's kind of funny how this ai has actually latched onto a very real human behavior of human fanartists.
