another thing w ancient history is like. high school classes WILL sometimes tell you things that are not correct. I remember being explicitly told that the textbook we used for classical art was out of date but since it was on the syllabus everything it said was considered 'right' for the purposes of the exam.
once when i was in uhh middle school i think? a teacher told us the 'the Romans sowed the fields of Carthage with salt' thing which i later found out is a myth that was fully debunked in the 1980s (no ancient source mentions this, it starts cropping up in the 19th century). i've seen the 'Caligula made his horse a senator' myth crop up a lot in pop history sources (the primary source on this one is actually Suetonius saying it never happened). & like that's not even getting into things ancient sources say did happen but are disputed by historians lmao.
Doesn't even need to be classical. I had a teacher insist dogfighting between planes didn't become a thing until WWII

A horror game, except the monster never hurts the player, they just want to lightly inconvenience them.
pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc
against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"
