That may be true, but also not really what i'm worried about. With AI on an ancient book written from a world view very different from the contemporary one, i'd worry more about misleading translations.
- sweisman 3mo agoMisleading in what way?
- bawolff 3mo agoAI is famous for hallucinating and misunderstanding subtle points, especially when you get away from the typical stuff it is trained on.
- sweisman 3mo agoYes and know. The biggest problem I've experienced vis a vis hallucinations is tabular data. In prose, where context is anchored by surrounding words. Even the subtle points are conveyed appropriately. Check out a work or two.
