Google Gemini: The power of photorealism in historical education

I have spoken many times about how great Google Gemini is. Here, I talk about how it can be used in historical education because of its high realism. These are not the stylized images of Dalle-3 but something that has weight in the depiction of reality. This ability to recreate reality is very important in education as ChatGPT and Google Gemini already have research tabs to allow for students to improve their understanding of the past.

The image above comes from the prompt: Create photorealistic image of a young Middle Class woman in Martinsburg, Virginia in her room in 1840 era.

Such AI generations are more accurate than previously and you can ask Gemini to elaborate on these images, especially if you see something incorrect in the image.

One such elaboration beyond correcting anachronisms is the ability to label everything in that image. Here is an example.

Google Gemini creates a Photorealistic image of a young Middle-Class woman in Martinsburg, Virginia in her room in 1870 era.

The image above comes from the prompt: Create photorealistic image of a young Middle Class woman in Martinsburg, Virginia in her room in 1870 era.

Next I use the prompt for the chatbot to label the photo: Take this image and label everything that is historically relevant for teaching about this age in interior design and style.

You would have had to research specific sections separately just to be able to know what each of these elements meant in context. Such a tool as Gemini proves that AI is not just about “taking” people’s jobs or hobbies but enhancing them and making look at our surroundings more closely.

The implications for education can revitalize a rather stagnant profession. This can be way of putting in Socratic thinking into schools, connecting ideas in concentric relationships instead of the linear ideas I was exposed to when I was in my schooling age. There will be people who criticize these tools for stealing people’s art or photographs. My response is that we should be heterodox on this issue.

Chatbots such as ChatGPT are only getting more sophisticated at creating historical images. Teachers should be attempting to use these tools and encourage their students to learn how to use them.

There were many early stories about students using ChatGPT in order to cheat. Now is the time to be able to help students use these tools to understand the nature of their history and societies.

Black Friday Sales Soar Because of AI

AI chatbots are one of the major reasons why Black Friday sales were so strong. This year’s weather was much colder than the previous and people were more inclined to be indoors to spend money in cyberspace rather in the stores.

The influence of AI is the real winner here and it shows this is what is going to help Artificial Intelligence gain a foothold in our homes. It’s not going to be physical AI at first like a M3GAN robot but one on the screen helping us make purchases.

Amazon Rufus is clear example of how powerful such a tool, AI is really. With the ability to type in your desires into a chatbot, dealing with incomplete search results is not on your mind. It is about creating a frictionless buying experience. The ability for Amazon Rufus to check prices and then it buy an item for you at the right price will help customers and businesses.

For businesses, it will be that the ability to manage a businesses’ supplies will be easier.

One will be able to get the supplies that one wants at the prices that they want in a timeframe which give them flexibility, giving their businesses more strength.

AI chatbots such as Spark on Walmart show that companies are also attempting to integrate it into the lives of consumers.

AI isn’t just about whether we can make photos or videos with it. What is more important to integrate into our daily lives and have been holistically react to our decisions that we make in meatspace.

This is an important approach which will keep the move towards AI system be sustainable.

Tesla and Waymo wars ramp up in Austin with geofence expansion.

Tesla and Waymo are continuing to increase their presence in the Texas capital which has been a hub for driverless car experimentation. While America is somewhat behind China in the implementation of a revolution in auto mobility, we are seeing some changes here.

What I think will be most important here is that the companies have affordable rides for customers of every stripe in the city and other places. Safety is important but we also need to have people willing to take risks so that we become less reliant on cars and help to improve our urban mobility in this era of change. Hopefully, these rollouts are smooth and we are able to enjoy transport without the baggage that so often made our lives too chaotic. We may have a chance to be more creative and conscious of each other as humans if we can just take our hands off the wheels and enjoy our cities.
