Stuff you can do with AI. 
In one of the scenes, you can see Vesuvius as it was with its top still on in the background. The eruption blew the top of the mountain right off.

That's a great video!
Are we sure this was created by A.I.? I only ask because it looks really good, and seems to be accurate. I have to assume that a digital artist created this from a geographical image of ruins. A.I. would probably make up something that isn't true and generate a generic Greek-ish sort of scene.
Pietro Galifi, Stefano Moretti, and Alessandro Furlan are digital artists that founded Altair4 Multimedia Archeo3D Production, so I would be surprised if they put their name on anything developed by A.I. I want to make sure the real artists get credit where credit is due.

Wow yes great video! I didn't see the scene you're referring to where the top of the mountain was reconstructed but I gather there is at least one fresco showing the top of the mountain to be MUCH taller!

Right at 44 seconds into the video. It shows a street scene then and now with Vesuvius in the background.

Here's a short Pompeii video DEFINATELY made by AI!
Something I hadn't thought of before, but Pompeii was once a populated thriving town. You see videos of it and its ruins, and of course they always show the preserved corpses, you get the impression of a cemetery.
This video gives you a different perspective of the living city it once was and its tragic end:

One of the most poignant groups of victims are the ones discovered in the boat sheds and warehouss on the shore, all ages huddled together, waiting for ships that would never come.
