ChatGPT, how do I use OCR in Word?

ChatGPT is a revolution in surrealism.

No joke, there's a whole world of memes and interpretations we can get from them

What is it showing? What did it learn from in order to do that?

Like r/DisneyVacation, but with whatever the AI was smoking in slide 4
- I've been putting a lot of thought into automating an AI bot that would do something randomy to generate seed prompts and then feed that through an image generator and post it.
This is the only valid take tbh

It then gave me step-by-step text instructions on how to use the OCR feature in Microsoft Word to import text from a picture, and admitted in step 3 that the function doesn't exist. There were 6 steps.

and admitted in step 3 that the function doesn't exist.

🤣

1 2 5

4 3 6

3 3 8

I didn't even see the numbers at first
All I could think about when reading the numbers was the It Crowd emergency phone number song: https://youtu.be/GTRil00Lfhc

I noticed that on my fourth read through. I'm still finding new obscure things in it.

Reading this is what I imagine having a stroke feels like.

It's also a glimpse of what it's like dealing with someone with dementia.
- Some of the current thought on shortcomings of LLM capabilities actually takes influence from human cognitive science, and what can be learned from those with neurological impairments. It's thought that human language abilities are strongly dissociated from other reasoning abilities because individuals with aphasia can lack the ability to speak or comprehend language, yet be able to solve mathematical problems, engage in logical reasoning, enjoy music, categorize objects and events, etc.
  
  It's shown that LLMs develop a crude world model for performing reasoning tasks, yet it's inextricably tied up with their language functionalities (since they are ONLY language based). The hope for future research is to develop AIs with world models and planning faculties that are decoupled from the language analysis module, which would mitigate hallucination and aid in interpretability.

Here's the Linux version of this:

I was following it correctly up until the part where you have to place a child on your laptop. I wish these things would let you know the parts required beforehand.
- Don't forget the requisite top-hat!
- Just use you neighbour's child
I regularly feel like I've turned into a magician when 30 layers deep into my process of "fixing" something. So at least that is accurate.
- But are you using child labor yet?
- I kinda think it's ChatGPT's interpretation of Tux?

"The design is very human"

This is some /r/surrealmemes shit right here.

Part of me wants AI to never evolve so it can keep making images like these forever.
- probably the best actual outcome tbh
- Old technology never dies.

What is fun to me is that it completely made up a bunch of computer and office accessories that don't exist.

Just wait, soon we'll all be editing documents using tiny scalpels.
- Of course, the only person who would try to do this is doing an essay about marijuana.
- That was common in graphical design back in the (pre 90s) day.

The text in the image represents how accurate it tends to be whenever I try to OCR a document.

for windows use, try powertoys's powerocr
- It uses the windows built in API for ocr. Isn't very good in my experience.

Despite the constant negative press covfefe

This is why I'm convinced no LLM could ever accurately produce the insane and moronic shit he comes up with.
- Maybe with a small language model.

Laugh while you can, fellow meat bags.

I'm actually impressed by the reasonably coherent (though nonsense) text. If you think about how generative AI works it's very surprising it could form words in images.

Microsoft's image generator has been getting better and better at text. There are still plenty of problems, especially with small text, but someone on another forum was able to get it to output this with a very small prompt:
- It's surprisingly good at making nonsense

Last step, "diable" is the devil in French. Therefore the last text more or less means "OCR the text into the devil's text"

This looks like scam email and Aliexpress products merged together.

Step 4: get baked

That little green... thing on the left looks high AF.

Ah shit. It lost me at painting the QR code by hand.

That’s how I always do it myself.

I'm stuck on step 3

I prefer to convord ttp manually rather than use the trext tims.

I prefer to convord ttp manually rather than use the trext tims.

But then how do you ensure that the text will be diåble?

I have never seen ChatGPT produce images. Is this a feature of 4.0?

Yeah is this linked with dall-e?
- It is. The paid version (GPT-4) is integrated with DALLE-3.
- This has all the hallmarks of "human pretending to be an AI" rather than actual AI output
I had a lot of fun asking it to draw ASCII art for me... especially if you ask it for corrections about specific aspects of its art

ChatGPT is like the special kid in school that can't have scissors or glue unattended.

Okay I've convorded the ttp by using the trext tins, but I'm not sure what comes next or why I'm holding a paint brush.

And people are terrified at the idea of AGI. Lol. Lmao even.

It's not AGI that's terrifying, but how people are so willing to let anything take over their control. LLMs are "just" predictive text generation with a lot of extras to make things come out really convincing sometimes, and yet so many individuals and companies basically handed over the keys without even second guessing its answers.

These past few years have shown how if (and it's a big if) AGI/ASI comes along, we are so screwed, because we can't even handle dumber tools well. LLMs in the hands of willing idiots can be a disaster itself, and it's possible we're already there.
