* What do we mean by "AI-assisted artist's rendering?" We found a small 1876 photo of the Dobbin, right — and that's its actual size and quality. We manually increased the size and improved the picture as much as we could in PhotoShop Elements, then asked several AI image programs to "colorize" and enhance the enlarged photo. However, they couldn't get the flag right, despite numerous attempts, so we found a picture of the U.S. flag in 1876 (37 stars, 13 stripes) and (again manually) inserted it into the image. Oh, and one A-not-so-smart "intelligence" painted Chinese characters on the bow!
