Not certain if this includes my original source, but these all confirm it. Superhuman AGI that will solve climate change and get us all replaced with super-competent replacements, can not parse pdf's. Obvious solutions:
1. Make recapchas have you parse pdf snippets and type the text; or
2. Use AI washing and ask starvation wage laborers in Mombassa to type the text. That is what most of the "AI boy/girl friends" are anyway.
