In a perfect world, AI could be used to describe images to vision impaired people.
The real wrong isn't the AI itself, but that its owners use it only for selfish gains.
Kind of like GMOs, we could use them to feed more people for less but Monsanto only uses them to gouge farmers.

In a perfect world, AI wouldn't "hallucinate" (PR spin/flavor on just being wrong ), and might be useful for that sort of thing.
(Btw: Meta already does this, but their alt tags consist of something like " Image may contain <object>, <text>, <object>" - the data exists because they have to run image analysis for automated moderation anyways - they surface it because it satisfies ADA requirements )

Eh? I mean, it's not super useful. Forex: "image contains woman, cat, salad, <badly ocr'd text>"

@Orb2069 @Phosphenes @datarama @felipe @ben If the OCR worked better, I’d be able to (probably) tell exactly what that is. Woman/cat/salad with two lines of text is absolutely the Woman Yelling At Cat meme format. It would require some prior knowledge though.
On the flip side, you’d think they would run images through a reverse image search and tag hits on meme templates. I get hits which for it which have the title of the meme in text
Alas it is always the Luddite question is it not?
Ask not what the machine does but to whom and for who's benefit?
AI should be creating a better future for the benefit of all, and mostly for those of dire needs. Instead it reaps the benefits for the fat cats above, and indulges in the #enshitification of our reality.
An you've wrote "in a perfect world" - I don't think this should be considered in such terms. That should be our normal one.
