    I read something yesterday about influencers posting about history and inserting themselves in historical locations/events using ai.

    They place themselves in-between survivors on a boat, while the Titanic sinks, for example. Making themselves look as miserable as the others.

    Their motivation is that they think that teaching using textbooks is incompatible with many students and just plain boring.

      I mean history shows always have done reenactments. It’s just the current iteration of that.

      Not just influencers. EdTech, including Khan Academy, is pushing AI to make virtual versions of historical figures to engage students.
