History A.I. Art (Episode 33 Tie-In)

On the latest episode of the Epik Fails of History podcast (Episode 33: The History and Future of A.I.), we spoke with Leo Allen Jr. (from the “Voluntary Input” podcast) about A.I. – Artificial Intelligence. So I reached out to the Discord community for the “We Can Make This Work… Probably” podcast network for some history-related A.I. art (using “Stable Diffusion”, “Midjourney”, and others) – and the results were incredible! In fact, we got nearly 200 submissions!
