Vatican launches AI-generated version of St Peter’s Basilica
St. Peter’s Basilica, an ancient site, now has a “digital twin.” I love that anyone, anywhere, can explore it closely without traveling.

While I'm all for tech making history accessible, I wonder if seeing it digitally feels the same as standing in that grand space.
