  Granted, Monte had unusually legible handwriting, but even “easy” early modern paleography like this is still the sort of thing that requires days or weeks of training to get the hang of.

  Well, I should head into history then, because I’ve never trained for this, and can read the example with zero effort or experience. Now, either I’m amazing, or the author is pretty terrible at this.

  I’m not at all surprised generative models can do this, because they are for the most part, heaping mediocrity on a pile of mediocrity.

  I would also love to see the prompts and the other example that didn’t make the post.
