When I print something, I certainly don't want AI messing with it. I often use a printed copy to make sure something will fit before I 3D print it or have a PCB made. I need it to print exactly at 100% scale.
I would love to have the page cleanup feature built into my web browser though. Hardly any sites include a print layout anymore.
I would definitely use it for the examples like recipes and spreadsheeets to improve the formatting if it worked as shown.
can't we just print the reader mode page of Firefox?
I mean you can but it won't look like the examples shown. Reader modes tend to focus on the text to the detriment of the pictures and formatting.
Also they don't include comments, which are a huge part of my reading. I save pages to read on a e-ink tablet for comfort, html where pictures are irrelevant but pdf in case of any graphics.
Wow. Now we use AI to fix formatting issues.
If it works, why not?
Green computing.
Fair enough. But I don't think not using it for this use case will change much.
