Anselm Project Bible
Introducing the Anselm Project Bible - a fully AI-generated translation from Hebrew and Greek source texts using a mixture-of-experts committee approach.
I took a little time away to think. And then I had one of those mad-scientist ideas.
More than just the Authorized Version
I decided to take a logical step in my AI endeavors and generated something new (and free) for the site. It was meant to be an experiment, but instead it's kind of an experiment that grew legs. I looked at the way bible translation committees operate, and decided to build several systems to replicate this process in a junior way. The result is the Anselm Project Bible (APB).
The APB was made by feeding the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament into the API of a few AIs, and then having the AIs generate several possibilities for translations. A separate judge AI made the final call. For more complicated passages, I got more possible translations. I did not go verse-by-verse through this system. I instead went pericope-by-pericope for the sake of keeping the context of each passage with the AI.
So, instead of direct chapter and verse, I decided to keep the bible in pericope form for a different kind of navigation. You can click on any verse to see the details, or selecting reading mode to have the chapter and verse numbers removed for a more natural reading.
There's a link to the Anselm Project Bible on the navigation bar at the top. It's completely free; no login needed.
The results are in, and I'm overly shocked at how accurate it is. I've been filling in the data with morphologies, parallel passages, and providing access to the variation translations the AI came up with. It's taken over 120,000,000 tokens of AI to process it to this point, but the translation is largely finished with proper morphologies information in place.
The APB is now the default version when selecting texts. You can also select entire pericopes from Bible and generate a report directly.
iPhone and Android Versions
These are delayed. I was working with a virtual Mac for awhile, and it is quite miserable. I'm a PC guy - I don't own a Mac, and getting the iPhone version up and running is proving more annoying than expect. The Test Flight version actually worked quite well, though.
Fixes
The site was down for a while, and unfortunately, I didn't notice. Not good. But, I got it back up and running and it is smooth.
God bless, everyone.
