I was excited by the title until I saw it was all AI :(

It would’ve been cool to collect actual images from history. I’m sure there are 1000s of public domain images that could be used.

The AI photos aren’t from that era either… they don’t show accurate depictions of life from that time.

They literally can’t. There’s no photographs…

What’s the point? You’re just guessing at the prompt used to generate the photo.

That might be more interesting, actually. AI photo game where you need to guess the prompt.
