COMMENT: Marty, I was in Paris and visited the gold aureus of Saturninus. AI got this one wrong as well. When I asked if Saturninus existed, this was the response.
As you have said, the academics refused to acknowledge the history because they had never heard of it from any other source, and declared that Historia Augusta was fake. If the sources the AI is searching are incorrect, then the response it provides is also wrong. Garbage in = garbage out. I find it amazing how some people go to lengths to try to prove you wrong. My question boils down to – why? They are not interested in learning about anything.

REPLY: Other coins have been discovered, confirming that Historia Augusta was not fake. I find it interesting that AI has not been able to correlate the sources and realize that what it is reporting about the Historia Augusta is incorrect.
