       AI generated art depicting history and archaeology is actively spreading ignoranceFollow real archaeologists and historians and creators sharing real stuff, not this fake crap that looks nice and pretends to be authentic but gets everything wrong

       @FlintDibble Yikes, that image was bad. This is what comes from video games, CGI invading film, etc.: the imagined reality shapes the new perceived reality (like the classic bizarre idea: pretty as a picture)When I was a kid * became fascinated by archaeology, things were simpler. E.g. sure they had to use some modern imagined scenes--but they also included illustrations based on historic photos or prints of Catherwood drawings etc.Found some images onlinehttps://www.etsy.com/listing/802582768/vintage-1962-how-and-why-wonder-book?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_d-books_movies_and_music-books-book_sets_and_collections&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAjwvJyjBhApEiwAWz2nLYfEDo_7k_3nVn3ragqLuZFFGVEoFOZ1Yg3UjEf5h3O-Bfo74X6HSBoCE_cQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_1843970638_75209201972_346429113005_pla-353214762939_c__802582768_428474240&utm_custom2=1843970638&gclid=CjwKCAjwvJyjBhApEiwAWz2nLYfEDo_7k_3nVn3ragqLuZFFGVEoFOZ1Yg3UjEf5h3O-Bfo74X6HSBoCE_cQAvD_BwE

       @CitizenWald @FlintDibble Good advice. I used AI to create test images for a couple of projects I'm working on. In some cases it worked fine, but it took a lot of tries to get it right. In another it was far, far off. The terrain and animals  werd decent, but the people in the images looked like some kind of aliens -- weird hands, face mixed up, clothing inaccurate, etc.
