Today's #AI moment: got the post-layout final proof PDF of the upcoming book, loaded it into Acrobat Reader as instructed, and the thing tells me: "This looks like a long document. Would you like to see a summary instead?"
My response was unprintable.

This post https://wandering.shop/@annaleen/114423652114437407 reminds me of the time way back when "AI" was still something else entirely so not directly part of any problem I needed to worry about, but MSWord threw https://nxdomain.no/~peter/dokumentet_er_for_stort.jpg at me, in English "The document is too large to save. Delete some text before saving."
I would say that qualifies as early #artificialinanity
Attached: 1 image I downloaded a scientific paper of great interest to me. It is of typical length, about 15 pages in the PDF. I opened it in Acrobat, and got this message highlighted at the top of the page next to an AI sparkle icon: "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary." I cannot put into words how much this enrages me. First, this is not a long document. Have you met documents? Second, and more important, telling someone to not read a thing they want to read??! Fuck you, Adobe.
My code doesn’t have bugs. It just hallucinates from time to time.
