Please stop 🛑 using ancient “AI generated” reconstructions of emperors as “real.” Prof. @nyashajunior.bsky.social and I wrote about the BS and uninformed human choices behind these types of reconstructions here. hyperallergic.com/593074/how-r... via @hyperallergic.com

Great article. Thanks for going into the biases the "machine learning" and their handlers have. So much of this is artistic choice and dataset limits. And he couldn't even MAKE the AI darken skin tone when it was called for, or achieve properly curly hair! Yeowch.

It's not even a decent recolor, the eyes and nose didn't stay the same for starters. And did he go in with the Smudge brush to add the chipped off ear in? Yikes XD

I'm a little surprised the "reconstructions" are not all blond haired and blue eyed? 🙄

And yes, other news outlets are using them as if they are accurate.

Has anyone done decent colorised versions of the busts? You've got me curious now! I spent a while going through this lot. He's got definite tastes in men, apart from wanting them white and straight-haired. Jawlines are widened, eyes are spaced further apart, "bald" is ignored, as is "bad skin".

I know I'm pretty faceblind, but did that guy just make them all look like film stars? And ye gods, those are some weird skin tones.
