I instinctively mistrust any service that offers to describe an image for you – to automatically generate alt text, for example. Firstly, this implies that describing images – and by extension, making your article understandable to people using AT – is a problem. More fundamentally, it’s impossible to just “describe” an image. All seeing involves interpreting and conveying something beyond the image – it’s not the same as summing a column in a spreadsheet.
