- KaiserPro 1mo agoYes AI can help, especially in perhaps the "easy" OCR. but where that hard bit comes is where stuff is missing, or the signal is really rather low. Its also new, or likely new to human knowledge which means that LLMs are not much help without strong guiding. _if_ I retire, I would love to be translating this stuff until I loose my marbles.
