description Currently, new information about various tools using weak AI, their benefits and risks is constantly emerging. Many of the tools that can be used by Koreanists when working with texts have these technologies already firmly embedded in them. The goal of this article is to test the capabilities of several machine translation APIs, supplemented by translation using GenAI tool ChatGPT 3.5. The test was carried out mainly on a sample of South Korean and North Korean newspaper texts to identify the main problem in machine translation of Korean texts. Furthermore, the article focuses on other textual tools available to Korean scholars, such as dictionaries, corpora, and other resources provided by the National Institute of Korean language and Pusan National University tools such as the speller checker, pronunciation speller etc. and describes its potential and reliability.
