With data from alt text on social media we can now calculate exactly how many words a picture is worth.
Or if we define a picture as 1000 words, we can calculate exactly by how much blind people get scammed
CatsStandingUp Georg who only puts “cat” on every image containing a cat is skewing the average.
Here’s my experiment.
Write a description of a photo with varying amounts of words.
Like, 10 words, 50 words, 100 words, 500 hundred words, a thousand words, and 5000 words. They all describe the same picture.
You have a group of people read the description and try to recreate the picture (which they have not seen, just read the description)
With more words, we should see the recreations become more consistent with the original and each other. Once everyone can recreate the image accurately, then we know how many words it’s worth. Beyond that point, I imagine extra words would produce diminishing returns.
