Limitations to know before generating
- Generated scenes are plausible interpretations, not historically accurate records; always review for anachronisms before presenting as factual.
- Text rendering of period signage or documents within images may be inaccurate or illegible.
- Specific historical figures or trademarked designs should not be described without proper rights.
- Photo aging effects like grain and fading are artistic interpretations and may not match authentic period photography techniques.
