The Junta de Castilla y León's 'Escritorio de Verano 2025' portal for primary and secondary students features numerous factual errors in AI-generated games, as verified by elDiario.es. These include wrong images, misspellings, and cultural mix-ups. The initiative aimed to reinforce learning about regional heritage.
The Junta de Castilla y León launched 'Escritorio de Verano 2025', an educational portal with games focused on the region's cultural heritage, alongside topics like reading, math, and robotics. However, the 'Guardianes del Patrimonio' game has serious flaws: its logo features a sketch of Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, unrelated to Castilla y León.
In the historical figures section, the image of Valladolid writer Miguel Delibes is an inaccurate AI recreation. Errors include 'Rivera del Duero' instead of Ribera del Duero, with the same photo used for this site and Parque natural del Lago de la Baña. An identical image depicts Soria's Castillo de Gormaz and Ávila's Muralla, while the University of Salamanca's facade shows a non-existent church.
Traditional festivals also suffer inaccuracies: Romería de la Virgen del Camino uses a virgin with child instead of the original pietà sculpture; Sahagún's Fiesta del Judas features a photo from León, Guanajuato, Mexico; and Las Águedas shows dresses resembling Sardinian or Albanian styles. Valladolid is misspelled as “Vallalodid”. Even English content errs with "You are good in movies?" instead of "Are you good in movies?".
elDiario.es, via Laura Cornejo, verified these errors, raising doubts about the portal's educational value.
