Some netizens posted, sighing: "Could it be that as early as 5,000 years ago, the bronze craftsmanship of the ancients reached such a remarkable level? Now many scholars are shouting, Sanxingdui archaeology, really can't dig down." ”
The picture accompanying the post is an archaeological excavation site, and there is a flying saucer-shaped bronze artifact in the middle of the picture, with many lines and parts on it, which looks full of science and technology, and there are several people wearing helmets standing around. The picture once again mentions "Sanxingdui Civilization Alien Origin Theory", but more netizens also reminded the post that this is just an AI-generated network meme.
On April 11, the cover news reporter searched the Internet and found that at the end of March, this picture had appeared on online social platforms many times. Among them, a Weibo netizen forwarded the above picture, and clearly marked it as "AI joke, don't take it seriously", and he also distributed AI-made archaeological mapping stalks such as submarines, aircraft carriers, and drones.

Is Sanxingdui an alien civilization?
Is Sanxingdui really a relic of detachment from Chinese civilization?
In fact, for these frequently occurring topics, the official has repeatedly refuted the rumors.
In September 2020, Sanxingdui's official Weibo @Sichuan Guanghan Sanxingdui Museum commented on a group of Sanxingdui cultural relics, saying, "The shooting is really good, and it really has nothing to do with aliens." ”
Sun Hua, a professor at the School of Archaeology and Museums of Peking University, also gave a negative answer in an interview with Cover News, "Sanxingdui culture is definitely not a foreign civilization, and Sanxingdui people are even less likely to be aliens!"
In recent years, generative AI technology has developed rapidly, and memes and rumors have appeared on the Internet through such technology. In 2019, China issued the Regulations on the Administration of Online Audio and Video Information Services, which aims to prevent the dissemination of fake news audio and video (i.e., deepfakes) produced using new technologies and applications such as deep learning and virtual reality.
How to effectively identify AI pictures, generative AI model engineer Zhou Yinan advises, zoom in on the picture to see the details, after the AI-generated picture is enlarged to see whether the connection between the objects is natural, whether there is a checkerboard between black and white pixels, carefully observe the edges of the object, whether the connection is blurry or chaotic, look at the expression and fingers, many current generative AI pictures are still difficult to deal with the texture details similar to fingers, and often distorted.
If you see bizarre pictures on the Internet in your daily life, you need to be sure to distinguish them carefully and don't easily believe rumors. Take the "meme" seriously? Then you lose!
