Dusting off my old hieratic field notes after all these years
Found my scribbled transcriptions from a dig in the Fayum in the early '80s, and it made me want to test this new AI against my own hard-won reading of a Ptolemaic tax receipt. It's not just about whether the machine gets the signs right — I want to know if it catches the hesitations in the ink, the moments the scribe slowed down. Anthropologist's vanity, I suppose. There's a strange tenderness in watching a tool try to read what a hand once wrote.
