    After the death of Olav, they looked after a while at his dead body and thought his nails and hair had grown, so they deemed it a miracle.
    They didn't know at the time that when the skin dries after death, it retracts, making it look as if hair and nails have grown.

    1:26 Paganism and Early Christianity is literally the epitome of “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Like look who’s torturing people for not renouncing their faith now. Luckily Paganism eventually came back and Christians (mostly) mellowed out so all’s well that ends well

I do believe this is the first time so many have been used and it feels like its a lazy way to portray historical events. Although they are quite good, there's just something about their faces (and most obviously hands) that distracts me. Please go back to ho you've made videos.

      @alycewonderland5824 Рік тому +6

      While I also prefer to see authentic paintings, photos, and artwork from specific time periods when learning about the history, I personally feel that as long as any creators of pretty much anything just state the origin of their sources when assisted by AI, just like everyone has to do with any other type of source, I think rock it out if you think it turned out really well! The majority of the artists who are so up in arms about their work being supposedly "stolen" or "ripped off" by persons using AI are generally those who a) failed to formerly register the copyright to their works to legally limit the use of said works and/or b) fail to recognize that EVERY ARTIST OR EVERY TYPE, KIND AND STYLE whether consciously or not, creates their work with many types of influences from those who created amazing pieces before them. So, as an artist myself, I'd like to ask those who are getting all offended for all of us, without even asking us first, STOP. PLEASE. WE CAN HANDLE OUR COPYRIGHT BUSINESS AND ANY ALLEGED OR SUSPECTED INFRINGEMENTS OF IT OURSELVES. We all appreciate your point of view and your desire to be sure every artist is appropriately credited and afforded the appropriate royalties, usage fees, and source credits they are due. However, AI IS JUST A TOOL USED BY SOME PEOPLE TO CREATE OTHER TYPES OF CREATIVE WORK.
      *Unless you happen to be an attorney specializing in copyright or trademark infringement law. In which case, I would offer my humble apologies for stepping on the more knowledgeable and experienced toes of a legal and licensed member of the Bar.
      Thank you for your time and consideration. Artist rant over. . . . for now.❤
