I have experimented with AI/LLM software, including a couple that do local document analysis and search, but I haven't been impressed by the results.
One of my interests is in journaling and diaries, also known as ego-documents and life-writing.
The software I used couldn't discern between real historical diaries and fictional ones.
That's pretty critical. I spent a long time trying to discover more about a particular diarist before realising that the diarist was fictional.
Note:
I used the free versions of these programs, maybe you get better results when you pay more?
I have a lot of scanned PDFs so OCR isn't aways perfect, that would always be a problem.
Maybe I don't know enough about AI and LLMs to ask the right kind of questions.
The software I used didn't permit me to export or save results.
The software couldn't give me precise information about the sources used.
I was trained to document my sources, and to use legitimate and authoritative sources.
Being able to cite the document etc is key.
Maybe using AI can help me to get a wider picture and consider some things I wasn't previously aware of.
But so far I'm not impressed by local document search and analysis.
Just my experience so far.
