AI art for recreated ancient scenes

AI art can be used to create realistic-looking scenes that depict the past either how we it may have looked like to the best of our knowledge, for example including high-resolution depictions of extinct ancient organisms.

This is a gallery page containing specially selected image and media files. They have been chosen as highlights of a particular topic, but do not represent the full range of files that are available on Commons.

For such images, img2img techniques can be used.

It may also be possible to use tools like DreamBoth to train AIs on a set of images or even 3D models that depict ancient organisms like a species of dinosaurs.

Do not use images in Category:Inaccurate paleoart as a base and add Template:Factual accuracy to any image you know is inaccurate.

Most currently available paleoart only depicts the extinct organism (e.g. a dinosaur), but does not place them into an environment of flora and fauna that is theorized to have existed at the same time. Those images that do are usually low resolution. One exception is this image which shows how such scenes could look like.

Huminids lived in caves and/or did not have civilizational lifestyle for hundreds of thousands of years. Despite of that, there literally was not even one high-resolution image in the public domain that depicts how daily life may or is though to have looked like for most of human existence, or at least none on WMC. This was changed by the emergence of advanced AI image generators in the 2020s, the two images below are two of very few in Category:Ancient humans in art:

Misgenerations and creating improved versions

As you can see there still are some issues with these images. People who have better AI art skills may be able to generate much better images. Usually one may need to slight manual editing, in the first example parts of the leg were cut out so it looks like the organism is walking through the fern.

Moreover, over time these images could be improved by their uploaders or other people using for example tools like the the Clipdrop cleanup tool, inpainting (requires some skills), AI art web platforms' face restoration or upscaling features, or manually editing the images in image editors like GIMP or Photoshop.
