As someone who doesn't have adhd/autism, I see this as one of those legitimate uses of AI. Because lots of people struggle to make mails/texts to be readable.

Other is summaries the context of large texts/data sheets.

Claude has the ability to accept uploads of PDFs and then answer questions about them. I just recently uploaded a PDF of a complex state tax law that had deleted portions and addendums and all kinds of stuff over 36 pages of legalese, and after a few test questions to see if Claude was able to do what I wanted, I started asking questions and getting answers (with references) for important things I needed to know about what my rights were, and what I could and couldn't do.

I never could have figured that out just reading through those pages.

@Melatonin @plactagonic just be sure to double check all references for hallucinations

That's a great reminder for everyone!

I never trust AI. Or rather, trust but verify. In the case of a PDF I ask for section, page number, or quote. Always get the reference.

@Melatonin Yeah, I usually run into people who either assume everything is a hallucination or don't understand that hallucinations happen and are unavoidable. Even less people even understand why or how they happen (ie. if you ask a question about anything not in the provided info, it'll most likely hallucinate as if the answer was there)
