Dang this is pretty cool!

Probably will help make life easier for many historians.

MarkusQ•6mo ago
Just guessing (esp. "educated guesses") always makes life easier. No idea why historians are so opposed to it.

Just kidding. Some historians will probably love this, and some will probably hate it.

Insanity•6mo ago
Yeah to me, these are just educated guesses and thus whenever used the tool needs that disclaimer.

That said - a lot of (ancient) history is educated guesses based on partial information. Even when we have a lot of writing available, like Cicero, we have to admit that we're seeing the events from a particular point of view, someone with his own biases and motives.

So we try to infer what happened in history based on data that has a certain amount of 'data quality issues' regardless.

MarkusQ•6mo ago
If I had to sum our era up in three words "data quality issues" would be a strong contender.
AlotOfReading•6mo ago
It seems extremely niche to me because I've rarely found epigraphy useful, but I've never worked much on classical stuff. Sent this around to a few friends who do and they had similar opinions. It's cool technically, but doesn't address problems they consider important or limiting compared even to standard LLMs.
bpodgursky•6mo ago
This is sort of funny because the Roman story of Aeneas was essentially a propaganda piece to create a national founding narrative.
AdmiralAsshat•6mo ago
Don't forget legitimizing Augustus' claim to the throne.
bawana•6mo ago
so now I can take a photo of those scratchings on greek marble ruins and it will tell me the whole text and when it was written?
Incipient•6mo ago
I'd really liked to have seen some outputs showing it reconstruct KNOWN tablets when provided with a portion of them.
