I used to use the Google Translate app. I'd take a picture on my phone, "send to home" to receive the text form, cut and paste to my whatsapp, then get it from there on my PC to use.

This is much more convenient than that, and doesn't require me to buy and install Adobe Whatever

Does it REQUIRE AI? Not really. But it's convenient, and it's not stealing from artists or writers anyway.

I've used google ai to research tools, communicate with sellers in other countries, and other uses that aren't the garbage that has been shared in this thread (from me as a joke, and other goofballs earnestly). I think this is the healthiest way to look at it. But the content stealing, not to mention identity theft and other gross stuff people are using it for, needs to be dealt with. But it's just a technology, we've gone through versions of this many times. And it will continue to ramp up from here.
