So, hey, Apartment Therapy: are you using AI to write your photo tour captions now?
Hey there! No, our content is written by real people on our editorial team 🙂 What exactly are you referencing?
When you click on the "take the tour" option, you get a caption flashing across the top of the screen with very generic descriptions ("a bright green door is to the left of a table," etc.)
Strange, I’m not seeing that on my end. However, what you’re describing sounds like alternative text (alt text), which is used for accessibility. It helps screen readers describe images for visually impaired readers and can also appear in certain browsing or device settings. That text is separate from our photo captions, which you should also be able to see next to the photo like this:
If anything seems wonky though, let me know and I can flag it to our team 💛
