Techxplore.com has some interesting insights concerning flaws in the AI-led architectural image generation of historic Islamic architecture after a report about its inaccuracies surfaced in the journal Buildings this March.

"[The] inability to obtain precise visual representations of specific landmarks hinders the meaningful utilization of technology. The underlying reason for this limitation lies partially in the generic training dataset of generative artificial intelligence programs and services like Midjourney, which lacks adequate recognition of regional and cultural variations," researchers from the UAE’s University of Sharjah explain.

The matter touches on the limits of AI’s integration into the design process. The full paper, which focuses on the issues latent in a Midjourney experiment, is accessible here.

The absence of these rules can frustrate the newly sighted, whose visual world can be both blurry and two-dimensional—paintings and people are often described as “flat, with dark patches”; a far-away house is “nearby, but requiring the taking of a lot of steps”; streetlights seen through glass are “luminous stains stuck to the window”; sunbeams through tree branches collapse into a single “tree with all the lights in it.
