How I’m NOT using AI: Comparing two PDF documents
I was excited when I received a notice this week saying that Microsoft Copilot could compare two PDF documents. It just so happened that I received a revised contract for a vendor, and I wanted to compare the two to see the changes.
FAIL!
I could have tried another AI tool. However, due to the sensitivity of the contract, I didn’t dare to use an unprotected one like ChatGPT.
While I’m sure this function will improve over time, this is just another example of the existing shortcomings of AI tools.
