Show alternative facts to actual historical events: counterfactual history, also known as alternate or virtual, is an exciting element of literature. What would have happened if…? In this case, a Artificial intelligence it shows us What would Mexico be like if the Spanish did not conquer it?
The exercise was performed by the user Alexiregio through TikTok (also has Instagram), using Artificial Intelligence Midjourney. A sensation in networks, Midjourney is a program created by the laboratory of the same name to generate images.
You only need one person enter a text description to get the result.
Artificial Intelligence seeks to recreate what was done by humans, based on machine and deep learning. In this case, imagine what a counterfactual scenario would be like, a Mexico that neither the Spanish nor soldiers from other countries had ever reached.
Before we go to the alternate history, let’s get to know the real one. The conquest was consolidated with the third Spanish expedition over what is now Mexico, headed by Hernán Cortés, who defeated the Mexica Empire with the capture of Tenochtitlán in 1521.
The result of Midjourney Artificial Intelligence on a Mexico without Spaniards

great pyramids of antiquity, but surrounded by neon colors, as an evocation of technological progress.
Students attentive to a class with several indigenous elements around it, such as statues and reliefs.
Also other Mexicas with a smartphone, taking a selfie.
For the Midjourney Artificial Intelligence, the change would focus mainly on clothing and rituals, but always with a technological advance similar to that of today.
It also shows other scenarios, as entertainment (ball game), or fluvial transport compared to large structures.
Midjourney’s imagination is limitless, as well as his ability to produce extraordinary images. What do you think about what was created in the counterfactual history of Mexico?
