Sometimes one looks at quite well attested historical harnesses and wonders how they worked. I mean the pauldrons on the famous Dendra panoply, and its barrel like inflexibility for the waist make it seem very impractical. There's a long 14th Century German mail hauberk that turns up a lot in books that appears to have no slit, so precluding either running or riding. You sort of wonder if some of these things survived so long just because they were unusable! Or occasionally later fakes?
I detest the use of "AI" to describe these, given that there is nothing "intelligent" involved... I am going to guess that you're using something like a large language model, or generative adversarial network, or similar things. That said, on with the vjdeo.
A lack of intelligence on the part of the system that made these images means that they have faults of articulation and coverage that would be detrimental if they were actual physical objects.
Finished the video. There were bits and pieces from each set of armour that were decent, but they were generally disappointing from a kinematics and structural point of view, nevermind protectiveness with strange gaps and maille draped in curious ways without apparent attachment points.
I think it's a good example of how AI can copy a mixture of themes, but doesn't cope well with the why: it can't understand the reason for any of it, or why moving a plate 2 inches up would make any difference
They look pretty much all the same to me. BTW, given your expertise with arms and armour, might you have any thoughts on stab-proof armour for the modern world. There are stab proof vests available commercial and they provide limited protection and very expensive. I asked this question at Scholagladitoria and I was attacked and ridiculed for the question. I wonder if the same troll-like disdain and attack will happen here. Cheers!
I agree, they are pretty much identical. Probably very limited fantasy armor training data for that AI I don't know those vests, but from the description and my imagination you probably are better of with a good mail shirt. Not cheap either, but better fitting and less bulky/easier conceilable. But on the other hand I'm a mail fanboy ;D
@@Glimmlampe1982 That is what I was thinking. A parka length maille shirt sewn on the inside of a very light cotton jacket the same length and perhaps double breasted, for the maille at least. Thanks for the reply and thanks for not calling me stupid. Cheers!
I think I saw this video and commented that you do not need AI for German style armour. Just put a good picture of a Gothic harness.
Looks like the AI trained on a lot of Ubisoft.
You should make a video about decoration on historical armor.
That's a good shout.

I liked Italy a lot. Also gotta give props for getting the UK flag close to right.
I think the cloaks are there to hide more of the crappy design features.
I'd be glad to see you rate some more artifically intelligated armour. 👍
Ai is starting to scare me, on a jobs area
Are those French lilies on the German armour?
To me the India armor has more of an Ottoman aesthetic than Indian.
What ai program is this? Its getting there

I see. This is a response to a video.
