We frequently hear similar explanations for the construction of the pyramids, Machu Picchu, and other remarkable structures. However, these narratives often serve as a way for Western culture to defend and maintain its intellectual and historical hegemony by undermining the capabilities of non-Western civilizations.Have they verified this is legit or is this potentially the first case of artificial pareidolia?One of a few real good uses for AI: searching for patterns amongst enormous amounts of boring data.

300 previously unseen Nazca geoglyphs discovered by AI in Peru

Scientists have used artificial intelligence to find more 'new' geoglyphs that had been lost to time. Situated on a remote arid plateau in southern Peru, the Nazca Lines are a series of spectacular artistic designs, including images of spiders, monkeys, hummingbirds, fish and lizards, that were skillfully etched into the desert floor approximately 2,000 years ago.
