### Summary The illustration in Lesson 01 (`01-introduction-to-genai/images/students-by-DALLE2.png`, captioned "Five young students looking at a monitor - image by DALLE2") was generated with DALL-E 2 in 2023. Several faces in it show the uncanny artifacts typical of early diffusion models, which some learners may find unsettling. ### Why it matters - This is the first visual learners see in the very first lesson, so it sets the tone for the whole course. - Image generation models have advanced several generations since 2023. The current illustration no longer reflects what modern generative AI can produce, which sits oddly with a course whose goal is to showcase generative AI. - The lesson text never discusses DALL-E 2 or image generation at all (it covers text models only), so refreshing the image would not affect the lesson content. ### Suggestion Consider regenerating this illustration with a current image model (or replacing it with a non-AI illustration) and updating the caption accordingly.
