Display Random Images Automatically (No Click)

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

We can make random generators, but from what I've seen, the results only show up by clicking "Roll the Dice". I'd like to just plug random images into my articles.   (Example: I want to display random "ads" for fictional products in my world, linked to those products' articles. Viewers should be able to see them as image links without having to click anything first.)  

What are other uses for this feature request?

If the random image generator can be tweaked to allow this option, I imagine the other generators could too, giving us a variety of randomization toys to play with.

Re: Liath_Hawke's comment--I'm not talking about random images from other websites, if that's the concern. I just want to be able to use the random image generator that we already have in WA, with images already in WA files, without having to click "Roll the Dice" to get it to show up in the article. Nothing would change regarding the inclusion of alt text.

    I'd be afraid that this would be an accessibility concern. If random images were inserted, they would need alt text to describe it for those who can't see the screen and need to use a screen reader to navigate the site/generator. I'm down voting for fear of misuse due to accessibility. Sorry.

    Sounds awesome, I'd love to display randomly changing profile pictures as well.
