Pompeii Then and Now

    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.

    They don't say specifically that they use AI, although a little research praises the incredible vivid videos and speculates that they use advanced technologies.

    The video was so sharp I thought they had to use AI to create something like that. No doubt there is considerable artistry also involved.

    Quote from Cassius

    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:
