Yes. Absolutely true. Even long after it was over and the writing was EVERYWHERE (450 AD), no one could imagine an alternative. A bit more political violence though.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

There are several "AI enhanced" images related to the Alex Pretti killing making the rounds. They claim to show new details.
Please keep in mind: AI image upscaling is not a reliable analytical method. AI platforms will in effect "hallucinate" and invent details that are not real.
