Dress Historian Reviews AI Generated “Historical” Portraits

“In my continual frustration at not being able to enjoy the benefits of AI assistance along with my fellow creators—AI has not, after all, quite figured out how to take into account the nuances of the human experience or the practice of wearing clothes when writing or illustrating history (and, uh…maybe that’s for the best)—I will at least use it for a good laugh…and an opportunity to talk about real dress history.

My favorite part of this video is the gameshow segment. This wasn’t initially planned: it was an idea that arrived late with Starbucks—whilst we were filming for the main content. Existing between the cuts you see on screen are excited phone calls to my ever-tolerant assistant to—quick! generate some images and send them to me without dates; I have an idea!

It was then a matter of retroactively creating the hostess character and writing some themed dialogue to stitch the segment together. Which, in a deliberate decision of artistic irony, ended up to be largely AI generated.

Enjoy!“
