@hosford42 @dilmandila @ChristineMalec @ClimateJenny I think calling image poisoning harmful to accessibility is a bridge too far, though. Should artists hand over their online art for free to tech companies for the sake of accessibility? Surely there's a way to aid accessibility without giving everything to scrapers indiscriminately. (For clarity I'm not defending alt text tampering, which I agree is a jerk move.)

@ljwrites Sure, that's poisoning the image itself, not for the purpose of ruining models that could generate alt text, but ruining models that could generate othe images of the same style. I say go for it. @dilmandila @ChristineMalec @ClimateJenny
