It's a real gem and quite useful, even if frequently a little wrong but can't expect perfection when someone tries to do this for China for like 2000 years of history

I've seen that transcription AI in action. It's... Ok, but missed a lot of details, and also isn't so good at catching academic speak

Good question. My view is if a student works enough on it with an AI bot so that the end product ends up original and good I don't mind it as much... Not like you can stop them anyway

Rare though, from what I can see

But really, I don't understand student psychology here. When the paper is 1) obviously AI and 2) full of hallucinations, why would you hand in something like this? It's a zero. Anything is better than a zero
