New Nazca Lines. They're much goofier than the famous spiritual looking ones

They found them with some computer vision scouring satellite photos

The Nazca Lines are an amazing sight to see.

It took nearly a century to figure out just 430 of these Nazca geoglyphs, but now AI nearly doubled the number overnight, adding 303 new geoglyphs to our knowledge.

AI might've also revealed why the Nazca lines were constructed!🧵 pic.twitter.com/QTT5io3pJ9

While interesting the AI take is just r-slurred

What makes these lines so interesting is that the AI makes it clear that they had distinct purposes.

No it doesn't.

The relief-type lines that show people and such? Well, those mark trail-heads. They're less distinct because you're intended to be close to them! Image
If you wanted to navigate across the region, you could walk until you saw a certain relief, and then you'd know what trail to take!

Other than this annoying "ending every sentence with an exclamation like a 5 year old" Reddit style of writing, a person attributed this disctinct purpose to the markers, not AI.
