That would require accurate validation of said documents, which is extremely hard now. Pointing 1 million PDF LLM machine guns at current validation pipelines will not end well, especially since LLMs are inherently unreliable.

This is lost on people. A 98% accurate automation is useful if you can programmatically identify the 2% of cases that need human review. If you can’t, and it matters, then every case needs human review.

So you lose a lot of benefits to the time sync, but since people tend to have their eye glaze over when the correction rate is low, you may still miss the 2% anyway.

This is going to put a stop to a lot of ideas that sound reasonable on paper.
