In spite of all this progress, I can't find LLMs that solve simple tasks like: Here is my resume. Make it look nice (some design hints). They can spit html and css, but not Google doc. On the other hand, Google results are dominated by SEO spam. You can probably find one usable result on page 10. The problem is not technology. It's a business model that can support the humans feeding data into the LLM.

Why would they be able to output a Google doc? It's a proprietary format. The closest thing would be rich text format to copy paste.

  That proprietary format is owned by a company associated with folks who won two nobel prizes for AI related work this year and the employer at the time of the researchers who wrote the attention is all you need paper and also the owner of a search engine with access to like, all the data. Doesn't seem unreasonable lol

  I'll accept any open format that can be lightly edited and converted into PDF. Google doc + PDF is likely the most commonly used combination based on what I see in the SEO spam. Some of them make you watch ads and then allow you to download something that looks like a doc, but you'll find out soon that you downloaded a ppt with an image that you can't edit.

They can spit out LaTeX, and a PDF from that is going to look much nicer than a Google doc (and display the same everywhere). As an added bonus, the recruiter can't randomly rewrite parts of it (at least not so easily).

  The recuiter isn't going to print out your resume. They're going to read in their computer or iPad or phone.

    For sure they will read a pdf and not a google doc.

> They can spit html and css, but not Google doc. Wow. At this stage, I think people are just searching for excuses to complain about anything that the LLM does NOT do.

  The amount of SEO spam on these searches indicates to me that this is a commercially profitable query and a task a lot of people are interested in. If a multi-modal LLM can read a 100 page PDF and answer questions about it or replace a median white collar worker, this should be a relatively trivial task. Suggest some nice fonts, backgrounds and give me something that I can lightly edit and generate a PDF from.
