Removal of unnecessary hard returns.

Question

This is really a reply to this thread: RE: Solving mid-sentence line breaks in PowerPoint ... James Plastow 
 I used a chrome extension ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chatgpt-sidebar-support-g/difoiogjjojoaoomphldepapgpbgkhkb ) to work online in Office 365 and use AI to remove the hard breaks from text boxes in Powerpoint. I am absolutely certain that a developer could make use of this and provide a neater solution that could process a complete file, but this test is just interesting to see what's possible when we think about the uses for AI in our business. 
 I also appreciate that confidentiality is an issue, but if you can use a tool like this for your content then perhaps it's a useful idea to resolve you problem. I recorded a short video as I played with it so it's a bit rough, but perhaps helpful:

 ok - here's something to think about: 
 
 I played with the prompt a little until I got it right. 
 "Please join sentences if it makes sense to do so, keeping in mind the context and meaning of each sentence. If two sentences are closely related and form a complete idea when combined, join them. Otherwise, keep them separate. Do not change the content in any way, only address whether or not they should be joined. Here is the text:" 
 
 This successfully helped the engine to "make a correct distinction between these two cases". The advancement in this space is quite remarkable and whilst not perfect I think this is another example of how we are going to see changes in our technology over the coming years that are more intuitive and based on some understanding of the information it receives. I'm not saying my prompt would now solve every text in a powerpoint but it is food for thought!
