I understand that this is one of a innumerable AI slop channels, but if there’s actually a person behind it do you appreciate the irony of using AI images to illustrate a video about knowledge being lost? We might not know exactly what the library looked like but people have made reconstructions based on actual period architecture. There is evidence for how ancient libraries looked and were used. And we do have information about what things like ships looked like from the period – not the anachronistic ones depicted here.
Or should we talk about information being lost while showing images that ignore what evidence we do have?
