The picture was clearly based on El Castillo [Temple of Kukulcán, in Chichén Itzá], which is on the Yucatan Peninsula. Note the chamber on top.

It looks nothing like the Aztec Pyramid of Teotihuacan, which is flat on top and has no structure.

@Samplank2 - this may hurt to hear, but your assertions that better models and pipeline improvements will solve this are pure cope. What you really need to do here is manually curate and tune the prompts, then cherry-pick with a fine eye for detail. There’s no substitute for actual effort and knowledge, but you seem disinterested in that part.


It's very cool, so long as you don't care it's eye-wateringly wrong.
