My reaction to these actually useful cases is generally the same: That does sound handy, a time saver. If GenAI were free I’d say it’s amazing.
The problem is the cost, mostly the power cost. It’s just… Not worth it for something like scanning books. It’s almost always just not going to be worth it.
Have you looked at local LLMs? You can download and run them off your own machine - no connecting to an external server. They aren’t any more power intensive than a lot of video games. I downloaded a DeepSeek model and I use ComfyUI to operate it locally
