I send thanks to the buyer from Colorado who purchased a canvas print of

Winds of Change -- https://stevehendersonart.com/featured/winds-of-change-steve-henderson.html?product=canvas-print

May the artwork take you to a place of beauty, where the sound of the wind is captivating.

Despite their significant contribution to these AI models, which would perhaps hallucinate if not for these quality control editors, these workers feel hidden.
