AI is for lazy people. Just lazy bums.
The amount of museum websites written by AI these days is really concerning. Just found one from a children's museum in the States riddled with incorrect information-- and we can't even blame it on the Victorians this time.

The incredible ‘Orkney Hood’ from Scotland! 🏴
So well preserved it looks like it was woven yesterday rather than some 1,500 years ago!
It’s thought the hood was made for a child. Found in 1867 in a peat bog in St Andrews Parish, Orkney.

If we, here in 2025, don’t expect women in the 1930s to have been physical, to be undertaking manual excavation tasks, it probably says more about later 20th century stereotypes of womanhood than it does about women in e. 20th century archaeology.
