There are apps that use AI to generate alt text, I'm not comfortable doing that in @pixelfed unless we can do that on device without any 3rd party depenencies.

There are apps that use AI to generate alt text, I'm not comfortable doing that in @pixelfed unless we can do that on device without any 3rd party dependencies.

The whole point of Pixelfed is to be an independent, federated platform for photo sharing, if I start polluting it with 3rd party services, it would ruin the whole vibe.

We can do translations and other cool stuff on device, with a focus on privacy.

Not interested otherwise! Privacy first.

@dansup @pixelfed You could look at how @altbot does it, using a small low-power LLM.

@dansup @pixelfed People's safety first, we want a peaceful network.
