You see no use case for LLMs? I've successfully used GPT4 to actually transcribe hundreds of pages of PDF documents with actual accuracy. That alone is worth something. Not to mention I can now literally ask questions from these pages and come up with cited, reasonable answers in a few seconds. This is amazing technology. How can you not see the use case?

Wow OCR. How innovative.

Accurate OCR that answers questions from source documents? Yes... very innovative. As an example, I have a real estate data company that provides zoning code analysis. Whereas before I would have to manually transcribe tables (they come in many different formats, with table columns and rows that have no standard structure), I can now tell GPT.... Examine these images and output in my custom XML format after giving it some examples. And ... it does. I've fed it incredibly obtuse codes that took me ages to parse through, and it... does it. I'm talking about people using non-standard notation. Handwritten codes, anything. It'll crunch it
tell me... how much would it cost to develop a system that did this with pre-GPT OCR technologies? I know the answer. Do you?
