I like reading about demons and this is pretty fun. Do you know why they are all into precious gems? Like it's so common that the demon is going to be into gems that it seems more efficient to point out ones that don't care about gems and just assume all of them want shiny rocks.

Very interesting! To me, AI-translations are particularly useful to make sense of automatic transcriptions done via Handwritten Text Recognition, which are often even more garbled than OCR texts. I sometimes use it to check Dutch documents, such as Amsterdam’s Notarial Records or the WIC documents. I even told wrote to David saying that after reading his substack post.

(I read your first book last year for a paper I’m writing on Brazilian tobacco, by the way. Congrats!)
