AI is severely incompetent
I can’t believe Adobe is calling this AI. It’s not. Glorified chatbot? Maybe. It answers questions fairly well. But it can’t actually DO anything. Example? Because my business has factories in 5 states. I must file state tax returns in each of them. I get a PDF containing the federal form and each state form. The file includes a table of contents that clearly marks the start of each form. I asked the AI to break it into five separate files. It couldn’t do it. Extracting multiple PDFs is something I do a lot. But an AI specifically created for Adobe Acrobat is incapable of it. If I were Adobe, I’d be ashamed to release this and call it AI. It’s disappointed me like this several times; the tax forms are just the latest. The problem with Adobe is arrogance. They know they have people who depend on PDFs by the short hairs, and they exploit that dependency with a lackadaisical approach to customers.
