The publisher John James Audubon's most popular creation was The Birds of America, which is considered the world's most costly printed book. I’m pretty sure if you didn’t know this was generated by a Neural Network you would have no trouble believing it was a real bird illustration.Lagom is a Swedish word that describes the feeling when something has ‘perfect balance’ or is ‘just right’.
