An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including "identify who", "expression", "description", "colour", and "interesting features". The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Potentially also useful for creating good prompts for AI image generators?
It's essentially by-hand CLIP, that's how the training data for CLIP came into being, it was descriptive text for images.
I like how “description” is one of the components of the… description.
This is excellent, very useful for continuing to make images accessible on the fediverse
Just as important is “decorative images” where you explicitly leave the alt empty https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decorative/
