I've noticed some of the stronger programs can't read out things like seki

they would be 9p+ and this bulletin board wouldn't be needed any more. But
this is common enough to make human intervention in scoring necessary - you
can't play out a seki!
Sure you can; if there is a dispute regarding a seki (one side claiming the
other is dead) you play it out. Now the proper playout is: pass; pass.
in which case, since neither side has made any non-pass moves,
the position is (correctly) scored as-is. And if one side does make moves,
then it's their loss:)
I do not trust bots (let alone pairs of bots) to handle genuine disputes
correctly. I do trust myself to handle them correctly.
