The fact that 200 years ago, Scotland had about 2 million inhabitants, all of whom were virtually exclusively ethnic scots. Up until about 40 years ago there weren’t even keeping track of that, with over 99% being ethnic scots at the start of the census in the 80s. (Source: Wikipedia)
Now this ai is obviously fabricating bullshit because it was trained to be diverse and inclusive.
Dude im just looking at demographics… am not even Scottish. Doesn’t change the fact that what this ai does is blatantly made up and could be considered falsifying history.
Why would you want to have inclusive history at the cost of accuracy? That’s literally blind adherence to ideology. You know, the thing religious zealots or nationalists are doing.
The point of history is that we can learn from it, and for that it must be kept as accurate as possible.
Accepting this in the grand scope of things somewhat irrelevant inaccuracy, just because you want the past to be wholesome and coherent with current beliefs, just opens the door to more critical areas of history being changed to fit the narrative.
Just look at the American republicans, who are in the process of banning slavery and black oppression as a topic kids are taught about.

There were more Scots in Africa at the time yet you won’t see AI adding them to pictures.
Exactly. Ask AI for 2 people from India born in 1860. How often one of them will be white?
There was some African dude who the king enjoyed so now it makes sense to depict your typical Scottish man in 1820s as black lol
Yes. There clearly were no black people in Scotland near the time of the US civil war.
You’re pissy because “scottish” doesn’t mean white people to everyone.

An AI said there might be black people in Scotland. PROTECT THE HISTORY!
