This looks very dry. I guess you could wash it down with a few mojitos.

Sorry. I meant your mother of course.

Don’t forget wanting to shag its mother.

I work exactly the same hours when i work from home as when I work at the office. The only difference is the 90 minute commute on office days.

I like to play as a girl because i like to look at girls. I don’t think that makes me trans.

Hi normal, I’m … normal too.

The reason you’ve never tried it before is probably that they only recently made an effort to make it palatable for the average nerd. It always had a bit of a reputation of being not easy to work with.

I was wondering about that. That thing doesn’t look neolithic at all.

Then you obviously live in a bubble.

Yes, I’m aware of that. But you don’t seem to be aware of the fact that most cultural output (and yes, that includes Reddit shitposts) is produced by a small minority of people. Most people never contribute anything. So however shit the AI slop may be (which I’m not in any way denying), it’s still better than what the majority of people can manage. Just look at the percentage of people that are functionally illiterate.

What do you mean? Are you saying stupid people aren’t real human beings?

A person without training data world be a blathering idiot. Any word you’ve ever heard, anything you’ve ever seen, smelled or otherwise perceived is data that was used to train the neural network in your head. And that’s not counting the billions of years it took to hardwire the hardwired bits.

Most people can’t do that either.

I once got one made from very thin steel. You could have used it as a weapon in an Asian martial arts movie. But I was really scared of even touching the thing because it was so sharp.

Most of those features are implemented in the scan software on the PC, not on the scanner itself. Although there is a tendency to integrate more and more features in the firmware, which is not always a good idea. Also, if you’re scanning low volumes, I’d say doing the separation before the scan is generally more efficient. At least that’s how I do it. But that’s just me, of course. I wasn’t in any way trying to criticize your approach. If it works for you, it’s great.

Yeah, just try to get the average person to write an email that’s legible, concise and to the point.

You can use e.g. barcodes, patch codes or separator sheets (which usually carry the patch code). Sometimes you can also separate documents by recognising some feature on the first page, e.g. a logo or a barcode that’s already there. And of course it’s a good idea to put single page documents in a separate batch so you just separate them by page count. This of course also works if all documents are two or three pages long.

People always complain about AI slop, but the fact of the matter is, even a shitty AI produces better output than what the majority of people are capable of.

Not very automatic, is it? There are definitely better ways to scan high volumes of documents.

Do you have any particular model in mind? What do you mean by “automatic scanner”? Any scanner I know needs quite a lot of manual preparation to scan a batch of documents.
