Very interesting article on how AI generated historical images help further the American cultural hegemony on the internet and in global culture.

@eharlitzkern @histodons @histodon wow that is an excellent observation. As an Austrian and American, I've often felt how different things like smiling are used between the two. Those images in the blog post are definitely full on #American-style toothy grins. I feel like it protects Austria a bit because it makes #AI generated media feel more foreign, similar to computer generated voices. German text-to-speech never sounds Austrian, from what I've heard. I'll bet the Swiss feel the same.
