Luckily one thing LLMs with image input are ridiculously good at is piracy. You want to get a book off a kindle? Easier than with a real book, easily.

What amazon could block is getting books from other sources onto a kindle. But there's plenty of devices. I use an iPad.

An LLM? Just what I always wanted - an OCR tool that hallucinates.

While dictionaries are often reliable enough to get the correct words back when some glyphs are misrecognised I wonder if some type of LLM would help in some cases. Not a worry in modern digital first documents though.
