A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

lol, the PDFgear AI is trash. Although, I would take a second to shout out PDFgear. While I wouldn't recommend using it as a daily PDF reader, it is a kick-ass PDF editor/file converter. It has literally saved me a number of times. While it's not FOSS, it is an outstanding piece of forward.
As for basic a basic pdf reader... Firefox or its forks?
Lastly, FBDC (Adobe)
Agreed. We've incorporated PDFGear at our workplace for satellite locations that are too small for bundled Adobe packages, and made it available on most employee computers. Solid software for something that would otherwise cost ~$120/head yearly.
