A couple of months ago I was having trouble with getting my printer to work and what I ended up doing was taking a screenshot of the printer settings and pasting the literal image of the screen into Bing Chat to ask it what I was doing wrong. It was able to parse my settings out of the image and figured out what I needed to change to make the printer work. Having a troubleshooting AI like that that can actually "read" the entire state of my machine would be great. permalink fedilink source parent [–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago They've fixed an otherwise aneurism inducing audio problem a few times for me. permalink fedilink source parent
