> An issue for anti-AI people, as seen on Bluesky, is that they're often "insisting you write alt text for all images" people as well. But this is probably the main use for alt text at this point, so they're essentially doing annotation work for free.
How did you come to the conclusion that those two groups overlap so significantly?
This is a well known fact. A bunch of AI researchers tried to migrate to the platform from Twitter but got a ton of hate and death threats from other users so they went back. Bluesky has a pretty strong anti-AI bias and the community of folks talking about it despite that is very small.
Well that's easy, I read their posts where they say it.
So you found a couple people expressing this conflicting view and assumed it applies to a larger group? Doesn’t sound very reliable to me but I see this all the time and it makes sense if you look at it as a mechanism to explain the world .
