Is this more of a...

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."

or a

"We choose to go to the Moon not because it is easy but because it is hard."

situation?

Lol. Looks more like the first option to me, but I also feel that there is something very very special about these kind of efforts and people who don’t mind spending their time and energy on things like this, precisely because of the fact that the world is filled with the ‘useful-or-not’ types. In fact, I feel we need a lot more of these ‘do-I-find-it-personally-interesting-or-not’ types, so that the rest of us can keep riding the ‘whether-or-not’ bandwagon and when that one off ‘interesting-or-not’ turns out to be useful, in ways we didn’t foresee, we can ask them to join us.

> if they should

I hear crypto is a good place for this attitude, these days. I actually got an email from a recruiter describing the product as React for smart contracts.

Demonstration of skills demonstrated with a fun example. I'm assuming there is image->Text translation, process automation + functional demo, and UI design.

Digging into the github page it appears a custom OCR solution was created. I wonder if anyone has forked/used this in cool places.
