   AI generated art depicting history and archaeology is actively spreading ignorance

   Follow 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

     @ArchaeoBasti these are probably the same exact people who argue that buying replicas are worthless cause they aren't the real thing

     @FlintDibble Ha! Yeah, I also like the discussion below that tweet. Apparently archaeological visualisations are too boring, so lets make stuff up!

     @FlintDibble It's a shame, because I've seen some really cool stuff when image generators are trained on real archaeology by people who know what they're doing.

     @FlintDibble . . . That looks more like a recreation of Technotitlan (the city on the lake that was the defacto capital for the Nahautl) than Uruk or Sumer.
