Feel like overnight I suddenly started seeing so much stuff and comments on here concerning generating Office documents with the LLMs. What could be driving this? Doesn't latex or similar seem like a better fit here?
- rcarmo 4mo agoPeople want to generate corporate content. For years now, it comes and goes.
- karado 4mo agoMost corporate workplaces are super dependent on the Microsoft Office suite.
- charlieyu1 4mo agoOffice documents have been notoriously difficult to automate for years. I think old .doc files were just a memory dump
- reddalo 4mo agoThe first version of the .doc format was actually a memory dump, which poses security risks and that's why modern Office refuses to open pre-Office '97 .doc files by default.
- nbevans 4mo agoThe idea of Latex being used in business environments could be a meme
- beepbooptheory 4mo agoYeah, but it just feels so ridiculous the other way too! The reason people use Word et al instead markup languages is because of the UI, right? Why does that matter here? After you generate a final PDF, no one needs to know how you made it?
