Sharing some artifact of your own added value, or things you learned in the process, would be more interesting to me than the output.
You are welcome to try. It is not rocket science, but what I developed would take much effort to reproduce.
I wrote an origin story about how I got started: https://aicentral.substack.com/p/pipeline-to-the-past
It describes some of the added value and lessons learned.
No you didn't. It's under a pseudonym. Show us how you link your pseudonymous blogger self to your putative "real name".

It got 11 stars! WOW! Your publication repo has zero stars, zero watching, and zero forks!
You have no profile photos; in one place you self-identify as "independent", i.e. no employer, no academic affiliations or credentials.
Your translations are literally written by nobody, and your anonymous, out-of-context, one-line blurbs are not blurbs or reviews at all.
I would say, with all due respect, that zero forks is the correct amount of forks to give about this project.
The mere fact that the translation was AI-assisted shouldn't be a reason to flag a comment. AI translations, especially supervised translations, can actually achieve a reasonable level of quality.
Disagreement on AI philosophy shouldn't be a reason to flag a contribution.
Others have responded equally positively to the Latin translations.
AI as a panacea is overwrought, but there are genuine positive uses of it. Would critics rather have NO translations of these pivotal works?
You don't, yet I still stand by my work.
I translated some books up to four times as I refined the process. The default behavior is repeatedly to not attempt to translate text it can't resolve for whatever reason. AIs do have a tendency to hallucinate, and I expended a lot of effort on minimizing this problem to the point it can be considered mitigated.
Your suggestion makes sense, and you are not the first to offer it.
Maybe someday, although probably not CC licensed.
The site currently includes English translations of rare Hebrew and Latin works, including texts that have never previously appeared in English and others that survive only in manuscript form. All editions are released under a Creative Commons license.
I'm interested in feedback from historians of science, classicists, medievalists, digital-humanities researchers, and anyone interested in AI-assisted scholarly publishing.
