Abstract

Generative AI images are not neutral depictions of place: they translate regions through uneven training data and model priors. Using North Bohemia (Czech Republic) in an “ordinary documentary” 1990s register, this study tests 13 prompts across four models and maps drif t with TDS (8 variables, 0–2). Findings indicate structured drif t: vernacular loss, infrastructural “cleaning,” and stylistic takeover that smooths local memory into globally legible templates—raising questions about everyday heritage visibility in the V4/CEE context.
