This is much appreciated! Thanks for making this decision
From the link: "Half the point of this project is showing off some amazing public-domain natural-history illustrations. Over 800 cut-outs covering more than 400 species, every one taken from a real plate and hand-curated for this project (no art is AI-generated, though some has been retouched with AI)."
Idk what "retouched with AI" means. Does it mean they used a segmentation model to cut out the shapes, or were they shoved through an imagegen and completely recreated?
At this point - does it even matter? AI photos are indistinguishable.
It matters to me because it claims to be "real, hand-cut 1800s bird illustrations" which is the whole appeal of this to me
