Hard to tell - some images are clearly AI, others may or may not be (cover images in particular).2. I have multiple styles in my book (I tried my best to link 1 style to each "dimension" and I picked several different artists with different styles to cover different dimensions).3. Again, who knows what editing was done; they already admitted AI use - so backers know its not AI Free.4. As long as they are being honest about using AI I don't see what more they can do. 'Edited in Photoshop' could mean many things. I'm sure I have run the gamut between +1-2 hours all the way to +30 hours or more in terms of editing/fixing/re-painting. As regards a single page of artwork I probably average 5-6 work hours on each.5. Well fingers crossed I can do okay, but I honestly have no idea at this point - last I checked there were 19 signed up to be notified (after the first 6 of 70 days of the Pre-Launch) but that's all prior to my emailing and Meta Ads marketing - so I am not massively concerned on those numbers 'just yet'. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤞" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f91e.png" title="Crossed fingers    :fingers_crossed:" data-shortname=":fingers_crossed:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
