The 2025 Web Almanac mistook me.
I did *not* say LLMs provide better image descriptions. I cited SeeingAI and Be My Eyes as tools for undescribed IRL uses.
I said LLM-generated captions could be better than craptions. I mentioned abstracts / reading-level changes, which could be summaries?
But “better” image descriptions is right out.

Adrian Roselli acknowledges that recent advances in computer vision and LLMs have brought real benefits, such as better image descriptions and improved captions and summaries. However, he argues these tools still lack context and authorship. They can’t know why content was created, what a joke or meme depends on, or how an interface is meant to work. Their descriptions and code suggestions can easily miss the point or mislead users.

Greenland thoughts from Antarctica..
Greenland is all over the press at the moment for all the wrong reasons. But Greenland is also on my mind, not just because of geopolitics, but also because the Copernicus Climate service has just put out their annual global climate highlights for 2025 with some disturbing messages about Antarctica. Understanding Greenland can help us to understand also what is happening here.
