Such an approach moves the cost of accessibility to each user individually. It is not bad as a fallback mechanism, but I hope that those who publish won't decide that AI absolves them of the need to post accessible content. After all, if they generate the alt text on their side, they can do it only once and it would be accessible to everyone while saving multiple executions of the same recognition task on the other end. Additionally, they have more control how the image would be interpreted and I hope that this really would matter.
