In addition to not paying artists for interpretations, they also apparently do not pay editors to proofread.

A human artist rendering would not have changed how anyone consumes this article. In fact it may even be less realistic given how artists are not experts in every field and more often than not take wide liberties (see dinosaurs)

If you care, you can hire an artist and a subject matter expert to collaborate and produce accurate (to current scientific knowledge) renderings.
Or even an artist who has prior experience creating accurate renderings from archeological data.
If you care.

I think they're commenting on "Midjounrey"
Using Midjourney to visualize a historical structure like this is not just lazy, it's very misleading.
Especially when there are actual digital recreations, available for free use under Creative Commons, based on historical information and modern surveys: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PHAROS2013-3000x2250...
