Regarding image quality update
Last month, concerns of AI image use were brought up on Reddit, we wanted to address what we have been doing to ensure this doesn’t happen again
To follow up and clarify what occurred, below is an explanation provided by the creator of the images
“These were not prompt-generated images presented as illustrations. I manually drew the base image and intended details from scratch, then used an AI enhancer tool in post-processing to add realism that was then masked to specific areas. Unlike upscale tools, the enhancer tool doesn’t only upscale, it can also generate new details on top of or remove older ones, which could create mistakes such as the finger here. The only reason I did so back then was that I thought it would be valuable for the illustrations to look like real-life patients and fit the “hyper-realistic” style direction I was going for. This subset of images were not AI-generated but enhanced, my intent was that they were not created by prompting AI to generate the artwork, as they were drawn from scratch and enhanced afterward.”
We’ve started fixing the images that were affected by this, see some examples below
