I don’t get this, We’ve had OCR for a while. All around San Francisco Ive been seeing ads for “llamaparse” with the tagline “we parse pdfs”, like is that all you do? How do you afford this marketing budget?
OCR is nothing like creating a presentation. Pulling text out is nothing like generating an on screen show with that information. This is something i see a lot of in my company. People trying to use it to generate fancy powerpoints from random groupings of metrics. So they dont have to actually know what it is theyre presenting. They just press next, read the screen and if anyone asks questions say theyll ‘take that offline’ and ask someone else to look into it.
Its kind of funny in a way. If you know exactly what to ask for amd can interpret results and do investigations its incredibly helpful. But without that its a big noise machine. And its really showing out those who are capable of identifying exactly what it is they need and are capable of breaking it down into actionble paths vs those who need to constantly take things offline.

PDFs are so shitty to work with, it’s like translating them, it’s impossible without using a tool like Google translate.
I fucking hate PDFs as much as I hate Adobe.
I HATE PDFS TOO. I hate them! 99.999% of the time I’m given a PDF file it would be more useful as an HTML file.
