AI transcribing handwriting: a success...

Some years ago I received what I suspect was an audio-typed letter from an investment firm. It advised that investments could go down as well as up, and suggested that I should consult my 'sisters' before applying.

Could be good advice.
My sister is a financial adviser. 😉

One of the interesting aspects of that piece is the counterintuitive bit about the advantage of setting the 'thinking level' to minimum:

It is also rather amusing that there appear to be several 'transcription errors' in this piece (e.g. see "The first think" above, and "institution" for "intuition" in the following paragraph). So this does belong in an AI Fail thread.
