had an epiphany: good image descriptions need context to be helpful. So the description changes depending on the site, editorial tone, the surrounding text and other content. I set up Image Describer Chrome extension to do this, and its working well.
Screenshot of the New York Times homepage in Chrome browser, with a side panel open for the Image Describer extension, and a (correct) description:

> A black and white photograph shows a smiling Jimmy Carter standing next to a young Joe Biden. The image accompanies an article on the New York Times website.The same image of Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden from a news article published in 2023:

> A black and white image shows former president Jimmy Carter standing next to Joe Biden, who is holding up some papers. The article is about Carter asking Biden to deliver his eulogy.
