      As far as I’m concerned the French and Italians are Roman. Rome ruled over all of them and all these so call different types of architecture they have are just Roman influence with a spin

        Turin’s royal palace is from the 17th century. The western Roman empire had collapsed more than a millenium prior to this. Do you consider the Eiffel Tower a Roman monument too? or maybe a Parisii Gaul one?

        You can obviously say that the Roman empire is one influence over western European architecture. But “Roman architecture” is going to imply the style and techniques used by the ancient Romans, and this palace was not built with those.

        The term would be Latin then.

        Roman is specific to the city/kingdom/Republic/empires. Latin is the tern for the culture they had/left behind.

        Edit: usually

          Latin is the language. Always will be and no one speaks it like that. It was a ugly language

      This is 17th century. Lots of actual Roman empire buildings were impressively sturdy and at least partially subsist, but this is nowhere near as old.

      Not sure where OP is from, it might seem ancient if you’re from the US, but “twice as old as the White House” is not really that old in Europe.

          And they’re all nearly identical. About 3 sound like something a person could feasibly say. Pretty terrible bot, if I do say so myself.

            Just scanned a few dozen. How are they nearly identical? Not seeing any agenda or shoe-horned replies that aren’t relevant. If it’s a bot, it’s damned good.

          I’m seeing a new person who’s literate and obsessive. I hammer out quite a bit in a short time and I’m not too bright.

          Scanning those comments, I don’t see any nefarious agenda. They’re mostly in the lemmy vibe. Some are a bit counter, but I would expect that from a thinking human.

          EDIT: I should note, I’m showing 2 hour old account ATM. How did you get a comment count? Manually?

            Now 3h, and 4½ pages of mostly mid-length comments (I’m not sure how the web ui paginates and I didn’t count). No real person can write original thought in that amount in that short time. If this is not AI generated it’s massively copy-pasted from elsewhere.

              Interesting! Still, the comments seem on point to the OP. Maybe LLMs are more convincing than I understand.

              What’s the agenda here? That’s what puzzles me.

                At first, try to establish trust that they are human, then when they are accepted, learn from that an implement in new bots.

                Once you have a few bots with a decent reputation, you can change it’s instructions to start pushing your agenda.

      I’m not sure where this picture was taken, but if it’s in Rome, then this still probably built by Romans. Just not the ancient ones.
