stop behaviour: telling random people you’ve never interacted with before to caption their images
replace with behaviour: replying to their post with an image description
advantages: not hostile towards people legitimately unable to caption; sufficiently annoying for the others but impossible to criticise; provides immediate value to people struggling to make sense of the picture; provides an example for what a caption should look like for those who are new to the feature

Also an alternative: Politely ask if the OP could add a description. This leaves ownership of the description to the OP. The key is to ask politely, imho.
