Screenshots of text! Luxury! In my day, the screenshots were embedded in a Word document too.
But I can't be the only one appalled at the suggestion to use an LLM to parse the text. The sheer, prodigious waste of computing power, just to round-trip text to an image and back to text, when what's really missing is a computer user interface that makes it as simple to send text or other snippets as it is to send screenshots.
It can get worse. People use their phones to send a literal photo of their screen. This happens almost daily in one of the programming discords I'm member of and it drives me crazy, these are supposed to be (future) programmers and they don't even know how to make a proper screenshot??
I knew an enterprise where Word documents were used as "folders" for Word documents. The "top" document would have a collection of files pasted in to them (the actual file objects, not just the file content).
