Title does not improve SEO rankings

There is no evidence to support that Google or Bing's Algorithm consider title attributes in both <img> or <a> elements. Title is considered an attribute that improves the user experience of a site and not the SEO. You images should always have ALT tags for SEO purposes as this is apart of their Algorithm.

It's unlikely that Google or Bing actively monitors the DOM for Title Changes

In regards of Google having the ability to monitor changes to the title tag its unlikely because its not something that should occur, unless the image changes because a title generally shouldn't need to change, same goes to ALT tags.

John Muller from Google tweeted this tweet awhile back:

@dawnieando If you're changing the title with onmouseover, I doubt
we'd pick that up. If it's just the title attribute: maybe. Test &
tell?


If its for ranking purposes use something other than title

If your doing it for caption purposes then you should substitute title for a real container, such as <div>, <aside> or even <figcaption>, that way Google and other search engines will take the content into consideration, since title is not considered content but for improving UX (User Experience).
