My Text to Speech app uses bounding box to display what text in PDF is being read and would not work well PDF's from this project.
Try building something new in claude code (or codex etc) using a programming language you have not used before. Your opinion might change drastically.
Current AI tools may not beat the best programmer, they definitely improves average programmer efficiency.
You would be surprised to know Apple started this in AppStore before Google on PlayStore. I assume it is because Google wanted to be safe from Antitrust lawsuits (Follow Apple rather than going there first).
Definitely inferior to results I see on AI Studio and image generation time is 6s on AI Studio vs 30 seconds on Fal.AI
Hope they get API issues resolved soon.
1. Default model used doesn't work and you get error: system OpenAI rejected the request (request ID: req_06727eaf1c5d1e3f900760d10ca565a7). Please verify your settings and try again.
2. You have to switch to model o4-mini-2025-04-16 or some other model using /model. Now if you exit codex, you are back to default model and again have to switch everytime.
3. Crashed the first time with NodeJS error.
But after initial hickups seems to work and still checking how good/bad it is compared to claude code (which I love except for context size limits)
1. Took a picture of me and asked to describe person in the image.
2. Used Imagegen to create the cartoon version using description.
3. Tried to use veo-2.0-generate-001 to generate video of person in image (holding a coffee cup in original image) drinking coffee and having a conversation.

You can scan a book and listen (also copy and paste the text extracted to other apps).
If you are looking to do this on large scale in your own UI, I would recommend either of Google solutions:
1. Google Cloud Vision API (https://cloud.google.com/vision?hl=en)
2. Using Gemini API OCR capabilities.(Start here: https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat)
1. 1/4th time for reasoning for most tasks.
2. Far better results.
Ramanujan short life itself is a loss to the world, Imagine how many Ramanujan's were ignored where there is no G.H. Hardy and what about Ramanujans in the other 95%?
ChiragG14 has won at least 5 of their contests which most people correctly answer.
Also does anyone know a good programmable outdoor robot dog made in US?
Are we shocked businesses are optimizing for their profit? Isn't that their purpose?
I hope X will add some quality control to ads they are showing.

There is incentive to take a public view that is anti current (or trend or popular or right) thing to do that makes you go viral.
