Hmmmm, the Great Pyramid has been made to look like a shopping mall, with very dodgy lighting effects in the pre-neon light era of the Old Kingdom, and a host of lovely roof orchards, whilst the Hanging Gardens look like a stereotypical fantasy elven city...

I really don't want to come across as old grouchy but is there any chance that we can desist from highlighting these and similar AI generated rubbish?

None of these so-called recreations inform us of what the actual historic monuments might have looked like. They are unbelievable fantastical fancies without even the redeeming feature of being created by a human imagination.

I'm sure that other types of AI will benefit mankind but this form has no value. Like the Mysterons, in order to recreate it must first destroy.

FWIW, before the evolution of modern AIs, I earlier witnessed a recreation of the hanging gardens of Babylon in a baked bean factory at Wigan - it was caused by germination of stray beans in the hot, steamy atmosphere pertaining to the factory.
