So I was trying out another PDF reader just for the hell of it, and was confused about highlighting (There was a tool in the ribbon bar that I was too stupid to use).

Instead of looking through documentation, I actually tried to use the built-in AI to see what wisdom it could offer a peasant like me.

On the same subject, are there any open source PDF readers you can recommend?

OMG you just nailed what I have been trying to articulate for a while now...

AI is basically the old Help file! It's about as useful too!

    I only remember Microsoft applications' Help files being as useless as AI.
    Other were good.

    3DsMAX help files were good (yes I learnt it back when I didn't know Blender was a thing)
    Qt Framework help files are great. They even tell me which way of using a thing is desirable and why.
    cppreference.com , I have been considering scraping the site and making it available locally as a help file. Maybe they even provide such a thing to download.

    Either way. all AI would be doing is reading those help files and making more verbose answers.
