Reason #2608 I do not trust “AI” to generate captions or transcripts:
“Complete silence is always hallucinated as 'ترجمة نانسي قنقر' in Arabic which translates as 'Translation by Nancy Qunqar'”

I'm seeing some really awful, low effort "may be..." ALT text recently. Clearly generated by an automatic process rather than by a human.
Is bad* alt text worse than no alt text?
*completely incorrect, and misleading

This is the first time I’ve heard of a web #accessibility lawsuit *demanding* an overlay:

Talked with a site owner this afternoon who has received a subpoena for a website accessibility suit. | Bet Hannon
Talked with a site owner this afternoon who has received a subpoena for a website accessibility suit. Typical serial plaintiff, with dozens of cookie-cutter suits. What isn't typical however, is that the plaintiff's attorney wants to make only putting an overlay widget on the site the only requirement to settle. I've never heard of that before. Almost always the requirement is that the site conform to WCAG 2.1 AA within 12-24 months. Has anyone seen this happening with a defendant before? I t…

There are some posts doing the rounds at the moment asking questions about using IDREF attributes like `for` without using IDs. I think these polls are asking the wrong questions. I think these are the right questions: - What are the specific pain points around using IDs? - How does existing tooling address these pain points (i.e. what "cow paths" are there that we could look at?) - How does existing tooling *fail* to adequately address those pain points? - How are these pain points impactin…

Nesting focusable elements is problematic. Have you seen any good blogposts, docs, or other #accessibility resources that go into *why* nesting is problematic?
I’m looking for something I could link to in a blogpost of my own, on a somewhat different topic. Preference is for something in-depth, and not marketing slop for a company (especially not for anyone affiliated with an overlay vendo…
