In Britain, Meta have quietly used all the old photos that folk have uploaded to groups reminiscing about the 1970s and 1980s to train a number of AIs to the point the results, whilst not perfect are worryingly good (to the point they would likely fool anyone who wasn't alive during those times) and its even the case for niche subjects such as telecommunications infrastructure.
AI is also getting way better at producing convincing images of 1970s British cars, as there is no domestic manufacturer left with the clout to complain about copyright infringement (what remained of the UK motor industry mostly got sold to the Chinese in the 2000s, and they aren't that bothered about the legacy intellectual property)
