This only happens with Safari, not Firefox or Chrome. Newer versions of Apple's operating systems have the silly "Live Text" 'feature' that automatically tries to create normal text, links, phone numbers, etc. from words in images. It 'works' in many apps, but not all. Like any optical character recognition, it can be rather hopeless, especially on low-quality images, small font sizes, or blurry high-compression images. It is really just another useless Artifical Intelligence gimmick that does not work properly and is designed to make fools waste money on a newer, more powerful computer to get all the new toys. Just ignore the rubbish and simply retype the text yourself. Even better, turn the nonsense gimmick off completely: <https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/disable-live-text-mac/>

YOUR expertise is respected and appreciated. Thanks again for posting.
