What’s the source of this illustration of “history”?
Wanna know, too. That looks nothing neolithic and much more medieval, probably clearing a place for a house or some farmland.
What about it looks medieval? The tools certainly aren’t. The clothing is just tunics and trousers, which were the main clothing in Celtic and Germanic areas of Europe up until the early modern period, and lack any distinctive medieval features.
It’s clearly trying to depict slash-and-burn farming, but it just seems like weird AI slop. I don’t appreciate AI slop being pushed to communities like “illustrations of history”. It’s just gonna increase disinformation in the world. But @Pugjesus@PugJesus@lemmy.world posts a lot of things with actual historical information which are clearly real. So… a mistake on his part? Mistake on my part, not AI-slop? This is why we want to know where you got this from, Pug.
It’s not even vaguely AI-esque. The artist is Andre Hout, who primarily does Neolithic and Bronze Age illustrations of Western and Central Europe
It’s not even vaguely AI-esque
Well it clearly is, as there’s a few of us perceiving it as such. It’s probably less so to you, since you first saw those images in context on the site.
It’s a style that the AI’s that I have used at least (I haven’t used many, or a lot) really preferred. So…
Anyway, thanks for the source.
