I might just be paranoid but based on a toot I just read and a few profiles I have seen, I feel like some not-insignificant proportion of users are unannounced AI bots cosplaying as average fediverse people. Has anyone done research on this?

Servo 0.0.6? Sort of works to view mastodon! I didn't try to login but clicking "experimental prefs" top right allows the feed to appear at least. #internet #browser #debian #gnu #linux #xfce #mst3k #mastodon

Every time I actually fact checked these "WAAAH DATACENTRES" actual numbers, and I've done this three times already, this is what I found;
1. The numbers include estimates of future loads
2. The numbers purposefully conflate the #Ai #datacenters with the existing Datacentres, "the cloud" your #AWS , Facebook, Dropbox, Netflix, iCloud etc and yes your #Mastodon servers. Which at the last check is about 50/50 but it's hard to get real data.
3. The water consumption is very poorly presented often conflating water use with water destruction
4. The numbers often pick a comparison that sounds terrible but in the global scale is fuck all.
Like "AI uses as much water as the city of New York!!!!!!!!!!"
Having said that the trend of #broligarchs just slapping down methane emergency generators on the perimeter running 24/7 is just criminal.
TLDR; The "WAAAH DATACENTRES" "journalism" really depends on the personal bias of the author

If Wordpress can do this, Pre-populate Image Alt Text field with IPTC Photo Metadata, then surely #Mastodon and other #Fediverse apps/things can do the same? This is fantastic news! https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55535 #AltText #Accessibility

WordPress 7.0 is introducing automatic importing of #AltText from embedded image metadata. When the release arrives in April, WordPress will read IPTC accessibility fields such as Alt Text (Accessibility) and #ExtendedDescription (Accessibility) directly from uploaded images. https://home.camerabits.com/alt-text-metadata-is-coming-to-wordpress-7/
That’s great great news! Will #mastodon be doing the same? I hope so!

Who thought that enabling this feature - and having toots being sent all over the place that people had no clue what it was about - was a feature that would improve this platform?
