This is what Safari+VoiceOver (latest release versions) do on
http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/articles/ 
critical_content_no_alt.html

The conclusion I draw from comparing the result with
http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/articles/critical_content.html
is that in the case of Safari+VoiceOver, human-written title as alt  
is better than no alt (when the title is not otherwise shown on the  
list page), but no alt is better than an alt generated from a title  
generated by Flickr Uploadr from a file name generated by a digital  
camera.
