Llama.ttf: A font which is also an LLM

>>fugled+(OP)
This is cool, as far as a practical issue though (aside from the 280gb TTF file!) is that it makes it incompatible with all other fonts; if you copy and paste your "improved" text then it will no longer say what you thought it did. It just alters the presentation, not the content. I guess you would have to ocr to get the content as you see it.

I was wondering why this was never used for an simpler autocorrect, but i guess that's why.

Also perhaps someone more educated on LLMs could tell me; this wouldn't always be consistent right? Like "once upon a time _____" wouldn't always output the same thing, yes? If so even copying and pasting in your own system using the correct font could change the content.

It's not a bug, it's a feature - a DRM. Your content can now be consumed, but cannot be copied or modified - all without external tools, as long as you embed that TTF somehow.

Which kind of reminds me of a PDF invoices I got from my electricity provider. It looked and printed perfectly fine, but used weird codepoint mapping which resulted in complete garbage when trying to copy any text from it. Fun times, especially when pasting account number to a banking app.

Eh, what AI taketh, AI can give; modern OCR has gotten mostly decent. If you're on Windows you should try the powertools OCR tool.

Which is open source (MIT-licensed), the source code is here: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/modules...

It is written in C#, and uses the Windows.Media.Ocr UWP API to do the actual OCR part: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.media.ocr?... – so if your app runs on Windows it can potentially call the same API and get OCR for free

Apple provides OCR through VisionKit ImageAnalyzer API – https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionkit/imageana... – albeit that is only officially supported to call from Swift (although apparently you can expose it to Objective C if your write a "proxy Swift framework"–a custom Swift framework that wraps the original and adds @objc everywhere–I assume such a proxy framework could be autogenerated using reflection, but I'm not sure if anyone has written a tool that actually does that). There is also the older VNRecognizeTextRequest API which is supported by Objective C, but its OCR quality is inferior.

I'm not sure what the best answer for Linux or Android is. I guess https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract ?
