  Thanks to Manta Sleep for sponsoring this video, use my code Presentpast for 10% off your Manta Sleep Mask: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/4bdyubnf">https://tinyurl.com/4bdyubnf</a>.<br><br>Corrections: <br>Oh irony of ironies, a debunker making a mistake :) As some of you pointed out the toga was not reserved to senators but to free roman citizens. I meant to say that it is most likely a depiction of a senator. But I didn&apos;t say that in the end, so what I said was incorrect! Also I said &apos;hot air&apos; killed the people that died in Pompei. This is not entirely true. I thought the term pyroclastic flow was a bit too technical for a broad audience, but this is an avalanche of hot gas, ash and fragments of the eruption.

  He doesn&apos;t care about history. He only cares about being perceived as someone who cares about history. That way he can claim to be different from all other slop merchants on the internet.

  Great assignment for history teachers- “watch this video on Pompeii and point out at least 10 things wrong with it.”

  &quot;Someone made art. <b>Real</b> art. They just put their hand against this wall and made something.&quot;<br><br>Coming from the guy using AI to make all his shit, the lack of self-awareness is astounding

  He&apos;s focused on correcting errors like &quot;she has two forks&quot; because that&apos;s an error that would be evident to most anyone. He&apos;s not concerned with accuracy, he&apos;s concerned with the <b>appearance</b> of accuracy.

  I find that if AI is incorrect about topics one is familiar with, it will definitely be true for topics you’re unfamiliar with too and that is worrying.

  &quot;You&apos;re not asking AI to imagine something from a text prompt and then trust what it says.&quot;<br><br>Except, yes. That is EXACTLY what this guy is doing.
