Do viral ai -pov videos spread inaccurate history? – –

If you are a frequent Tikok scooter, you may be familiar with accounts such as POV Lab and Time Traveler POV, post the videos that show the apparent view of different people in the course of history.

From the black plague to the destruction of Pompeii, these videos show A-generated environments and in the words of Dan, the Creator of POV Lab, to present them “The idea of ​​seeing the past through a perspective from the first person felt like a unique way of bringing history to life.”

Dan and Hogne – The Creator of Time Traveler Pov – spoke to the BBC, whereby Hogne was added that his videos could deliver people “Cool parts of the story and help you learn something new.”

However, historians are not incredibly impressed by the videos. Dr. Amy Boyington called the videos “Amateurish,” Inaccuracies such as train traces in the middle of the Middle Ages indicate.

The historian and archaeologist Dr. Hannah Platts is also not a fan and says that the videos are ignoring things that we already know from history. “Because of Pliny, the eyewitness report by Pliny, we know that it has not started with Lava everywhere not to use this variety of historical information that is available to us if it feels cheap and lazy.” she said.

Although they are not correct, the videos still earn millions of views on Tikkok, who point out that they may have power to manipulate how the audience will understand history. But even with all this, historians still see earnings in the videos, with Dr. Boyington says they could act as a goal in history.
