These AI images generated by Hotspot’s version of Dall-E are in response to the prompt “neolithic historic temple.” Results such as these are really interesting jumping off points for discussions at a variety of different levels. Younger grades might look at these images and try to pinpoint the current cultures which may relate to these different architectural styles, and examine what role large communal structures might have in an ancient civilization. However, higher grade levels might be able to get into more complex discussions regarding inherent biases in AI-generated art as a reflection of trends in media and Eurocentrism. AI generated images can be useful for students to use in their projects, but more so, are a great way to make more digitally-literate students and to promote critical thinking in relation to how AI reflects human sociological and cultural trends.
