I've been toying around with the MS Copilot image generator. I absolutely cannot get it to create historically accurate images. For example, I asked for "Female Vikings" expecting to see some women in medieval garb, maybe holding a baby or cooking or picking herbs in a garden or something.

Instead I got warrior-women in armor and holding weapons, complete with fantasy creatures in the background - a dragon in one image, a winged wolf with duck feet coming in for a landing in another (?!?)

So I told it to get rid of the weapons, and I managed to get rid of the fantasy elements as well. But I could not get the AI to admit that viking women did not wear armor. Maybe it thought I was asking for nudies or something when I tried to get it to ditch the armor, but the failure of the AI to generate historically accurate images no matter how hard you try is troubling...
