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.

But “better” image descriptions is right out.

Today, still wanted by the government they survive as wine drinkers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The Wine Moms.
