This tattooed history influencer time-travels on TikTok. The twist: She doesn't exist.

Quoted in Yahoo Life's coverage of "Chloe vs. History," an AI history influencer on TikTok later revealed to be the work of a British social media strategist. Priten weighed in on whether AI-generated history content can actually teach viewers anything, arguing that this kind of influencer content tends to optimize for engagement rather than learning. He drew an analogy to watching a film instead of reading the book, where the imaginative work of filling in characters and scenes gets lost. He recommended historical fiction, documentaries, and following up viral clips with credible sources as better paths for anyone curious about the past.
