Albeit a bit hodgepodge in terms of curation and by dent of prompts and cues (though appreciative of the honesty and transparency regarding how it was acquired), we enjoyed our AI-enabled conversation, via Web Curios (at lot more to explore there), with reanimated artefacts of the British Museum. Whilst not as good as a resident docent, our talk with the mummy of Cleopatra (not the pharaoh but with a history equally intriguing and deserving to be told) was engaging—and surprising to see how quickly the practise is being adopted and embraced—and could fill in some gaps in my knowledge about mythology and the afterlife. Peruse to see what you can find.
