hello my friends, I am a historian and history teacher writing to all of you from Chile in the southern hemisphere, in a forgotten corner of this earth. I apologize for not writing in a specific thread, it is late and I am tired, however I deeply thank anyone taking the time to read this and maybe lend a hand with some basic orientation?
TLDR I am working on a project that might open up big doors for me; 133 years ago we had a president who KMS himself after losing a Civil War, his house is now a restaurant and every last May weekend we celebrate something called "patrimony day" where we celebrate all our cultural history.
I am working together with a colleague of mine to host a tour and patrimony event for that day on the restaurant and we want to recreate with historical data and research historical scenes and cities with the use of AI. In comparison to what all of you may know, I am a complete and utter beginner, but we have the resources and capacity to bring about real AI projects for education, teaching, and history in our country if we manage to show the capacity of AI as a tool and field of learning for those who will attend that day (people with influence and resources). I got into AI by using ChatGPT and Deepseek to improve my education, I am now exploring HuggingFace, but I am pretty much disoriented with where I should be looking and what I should be learning, or what I should be using. My computer machine I doubt currently could run local models, but I have the funds to improve the ram at least.
I currnetly want to reconstruct a "panning scene" from my small town in Chile where wounded are arriving to a train station after a battle, I have pictures and descriptions, and I also wish to build something like a chatbot to implement during the event for those attendees in the "digital tour" we will be doing with these technologies, which is the reason why I post in this thread too. I apologize for writing this much to explain and maybe risking to be read as asking to be spoonfed, but I would really really appreciate if I could receive any indications or directions at all to get the show running. I have big plans for the future and they include all my freinds.
