So I was trying out another PDF reader just for the hell of it, and was confused about highlighting (There was a tool in the ribbon bar that I was too stupid to use).
Instead of looking through documentation, I actually tried to use the built-in AI to see what wisdom it could offer a peasant like me.
On the same subject, are there any open source PDF readers you can recommend?
I feel like an AI that can say "I don't know." plainly is a great step.
For AI that is, but does not make the product any more desirable.
There used to be
F1to help. Now there'sF1to AI?Oh of course not. The
F#keys are all gone. Now there is theAIbutton.OMG you just nailed what I have been trying to articulate for a while now...
AI is basically the old Help file! It's about as useful too!
I only remember Microsoft applications' Help files being as useless as AI.
Other were good.
3DsMAX help files were good (yes I learnt it back when I didn't know Blender was a thing)
Qt Framework help files are great. They even tell me which way of using a thing is desirable and why.
cppreference.com , I have been considering scraping the site and making it available locally as a help file. Maybe they even provide such a thing to download.
Either way. all AI would be doing is reading those help files and making more verbose answers.
It clears the Turing test.
