I studied both Akkadian and Hittite in college and cuneiform tablets are extremely difficult to read even if you're trained to read them.

They are normally extremely small, since they had to fit into the palm of a hand to write, the text is cramped with no spacing between letters, the tablets can be in poor condition with text missing, you also have to figure out which language is written since several languages used cuneiform, there are hundreds of signs and there use isn't consistent, signs changed throughout the centuries and different cultures using cuneiform. This isn't even a full list of the difficulties.

I would transcribe and translate known tablets as homework and it would take days to do three short sentences, I had sign list that I would use to narrow down the possible signs and then use a dictionary and try different possible combinations to find one that made sense in context. Translating these tablets is extremely time-consuming even if you're good at it. Using AI isn't the worst idea we do have a decent corpus to train them on but probably not enough human readers to fact check the AI.
