Description
Built an auditable AI (Bible) translation pipeline: Hebrew/Greek source packets -> verse JSON with notes rolling up to chapters, books, and testaments. Final texts compiled with metrics (TTR, n-grams).This is the first full-text example as far as I know (Gen Z bible doesn't count).There are hallucinations and issues, but the overall quality surprised me.LLMs have a lot of promise translating and rendering 'accessible' more ancient texts.The technology has a lot of benefit for the faithful, that I think is only beginning to be explored.
