      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

    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.

          I worked in a print shop in the 90s (until 95) and we still used xacto knives for our layouts. We had a computer but on now really knew how to use it for graphic design yet.

        It uses the windows built in API for ocr. Isn’t very good in my experience.

          fwiw I’ve used it pretty extensively on screenshots of text I keep getting sent at work, so far I haven’t noticed any mistakes at all. may just be the type of images though

    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:

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