Yes but they're quite good at it. Reliable OCR is font dependent, whereas I think a lot of models just kind of figure it out regardless.

One reason I don't quite trust AI for OCR is that it will, on occasion, hallucinate the output.

They do so by running the image through an OCR tool call

That's a thing I always marvel about - how LLMs are so versatile and do so much stuff so good that was out of reach just some years ago

On apple platforms it definitely is an AI. Apple intelligence!
