The claim, or the software? If the software was developed by ChatGPT it probably sucks. If it wasn't developed by ChatGPT, its author is a liar. So either way, fuck it.

Who cares if it was developed by ChatGPT if it actually works? Why not try it out first before crapping on someone's hard Open Source work?

PDF software / readers are reliably the least reliable, most likely to have security issues programs on any given machine. I for one would not run C code blindly copied from ChatGPT carelessly.
In this case I think the actual PDF bits are command line tools written by humans though, and just the web wrapping (some small initial piece of it) is originally from ChatGPT.

Yeah let me waste a shitload of time on possible low-quality shit that might have spyware. Based on the advertisement I'm not convinced. I want PDF tools developed by experts, not monkeys pounding on keyboards or shysters who push stupid gimmicks.
