I find the most common thing I use ai for is to give me the text from a screenshot due to websites putting important information in a manner that does not allow copy and paste of it. So I should completely not need to do this but it comes up a lot.

    nice but I finally made the jump away but there is likely something. Not really less infuriating though since the hoops should just not need to be jumped through. I guess im mainly annoyed that the web increasingly is less text and more media.

      I agree! Solving tech issues leads to searching the net and all too often the results are a video about the solution when text is all you need. Watching a video just to see what they type is very mildlyinfuriating.

      If you’re on macOS, you can select text from an image directly in Preview.
