OCR is a very, very old AI system that for decades we’ve scanned documents and saved to pdf with. The old system is far from perfect, but it does work well enough in most cases. If an AI recognition model can do the same job with less mistakes, that is an improvement.
indeed, anyone with skills would have whipped that up in noetime without AI… or use any of the many apps that already do that
For real, you can copy text out of images on most modern phones so this isn’t really an issue anymore
Yea, you can do that, but have fun doing that 1000 times a day. Manually copying was the problem, I created a system that automated that process.
Ok but how does the phone extract the text? The fact that a modern phone can do it does not mean there’s no AI involved

Then why was I the one to do it if anyone could have done it?

If I have a low ability in that specific area then why was I able to achieve success?
