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.
@annaleen boycott acrobat. Get a Mac and use Preview. No AI junk there. And what AI there is can be turned off (for now at least)
@SimonCHulse @annaleen Apple is a little behind, but trying to install Apple Intelligence everywhere.
@EricFielding @annaleen yes, but it can be turned off, you just opt out of it when you upgrade to the system that contains it/start a new computer/iOS device with it.
@EricFielding @annaleen how long the opt out will be available, I’m not sure, but it’s there for now.
