A warning for Adobe #InDesign users. I recently updated my copy, and after preparing a document, the recipient of that document sent me the alt text that popped up on one of their figures. Apparently, by default, InDesign uses AI to generate (often hilariously wrong) alt text for images.
@pinakographos the grammar is also wrong!

@rytmis @pinakographos Not sure even a sonic screwdriver would help in this instance... 👀
”It’s bigger on the inside” takes on a whole ’nother meaning…

@pinakographos So images of Klein Bottles are now NSFW?
Thanks "AI"!

@pinakographos The worst thing is, that's probably not even generative AI. They'll be using CLIP for the descriptions, which is cheap but fallible (phallible?) Any VLM would get the right answer here, but that would cost money to run...

@pinakographos I would stop using Adobe products when this happened to me.

#Altbot test.
Unfortunately the bot failed to identify the displayed form as a Klein bottle. It sees a dumbbell - well …
But at least it stayed in the SFW area ;)

@pinakographos I can't wait to see this popping up as alt-text in documents that I edit. They already come with things like "Warning: AI-generated figures may be inaccurate."

@pinakographos dm me if you look like this

@macmapman It's easily turned off via Preferences --> Generative AI.
@pinakographos @macmapman And then when they turn it back on in the next update, it's "easily turned off". Just like when they add this antifeature under a dozen other settings, where it's turned on by default.

@pinakographos@mapstodon.space atleast we now got a good idea what their model was trained on

@pinakographos Firefox has the same kind of thing enabled by default in their embedded pdf reader (pdfjs).

@pinakographos
Everyone remember to take #Adobe people like CTO #ElyGreenfield and CEO & chair #ShantanuNarayen seriously /sAdobe: top quality software, safe for business clients, take us seriously
Also Adobe: will secretly tell client design look like bot drew penis 😂🌭🤣

@pinakographos
I've noticed that too. What pissed me off even more than it being on by default is a) if you go into your Object Export Options it states that "This standard generative feature uses 1 credit per generation." and b) the alt text is generated for the entire image file not the cropped version one uses in their layout. So Adobe is forcing AI on all users while hiding the costs to generate an alt text that will be wrong by design. -

@pinakographos everything is phallic if you look at it wrong enough
