Document processing AI is also making progress. Adobe Acrobat just added a new feature, the AI Assistant. It works with documents in native Acrobat format, not a scanned document converted to Acrobat. I tried it with my book, but it said, "the feature only supports files with less than 120 pages." So I tried it with my paper, "How to Fix Global Warming." https://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/RothwellJhowtofixgl.pdf
Here are some of the responses from the AI: *Overview* (generates automatically when you turn on the AI) The document discusses how cold fusion technology can help mitigate global warming by eliminating carbon emissions and enhancing carbon sequestration through reforestation projects. *Provide a list of the 5 most important points* (one of the many auto-generated questions that the AI suggests) 1. Cold fusion does not produce carbon dioxide, so if it replaces other sources of energy, carbon emissions would stop. [1] 2. Cold fusion can enhance the removal of carbon from the atmosphere by reforestation. [2] It can increase the amount of carbon captured by a factor of ten and reduce the cost of the project significantly. 3. Cold fusion technology can be used to stop the natural boom and bust cycle of forest carbon by burying charcoal made from deadwood underground, speeding up the formation of coal. 4. Cold fusion devices do not produce dangerous radiation and can safely contain tritium. [The footnotes in square brackets jump to the place in the document where this assertion appears.] *What are the two technologies used to expand forests in the carbon sequestration project?* (Another auto-generated question) The two technologies used to expand forests in the carbon sequestration project are indoor farms and "cultured meat" grown from animal cells. *What is the power density by volume of a cold fusion cathode?* (Auto generated question) The power density by volume of a cold fusion cathode is 300 W/cm3. This information can be found in Table 1 of the document, which compares the power density of cold fusion cathodes from the best experiments to fission reactor fuel pellets. The table states that the volume of a cold fusion cathode is 0.3 cm3 and its power density by volume is 300 W/cm3. *What did the author in the New York Times have to say about forest sequestation [spelled wrong!]?* (My question. I deliberately did not name the author. But I spelled sequestration wrong by accident.) The author in the New York Times wrote an op-ed titled "Let’s Not Pretend Planting Trees Is a Permanent Climate Solution." The author argues that while trees can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, relying solely on tree planting to offset emissions is not a permanent solution. The author suggests that using trees to offset emissions can be seen as hitting the "climate snooze button," as the carbon in trees eventually returns to the atmosphere through forest fires or decomposition. The author emphasizes the need for more permanent solutions to address climate change. [Correct] *What was the name of that author?* (My question. Too ambiguous) The name of the author mentioned in the document is Jed Rothwell. *What was the name of the author of the New York Times article?* (My question.) The name of the author of the New York Times article is not mentioned in the document. [The author is listed in footnote 9. I guess it is asking too much for the AI to go from the text describing "Let's Not Pretend . . ." to the footnote listing the author name.] [This works much better than the AI that I installed at LENR-CANR.org. Which, alas, I removed. I suppose it works better because: 1. It is only running on one document; 2. Adobe tweaked the AI bot to work well with academic documents, with abstracts, tables and whatnot. In one response it said: "Please double-check my response carefully. Like many AI models, I'm still learning how to understand tables in documents."]
