(click title to read full post.. "more" doesn't actually show "more") Hypothetical question: you use 3D software to create landscape images but use a "Formula" to generate the ecosystem that populates 100,000 trees, the rocks along a stream, the change in materials from grass to stone on steep angles. Are you cheating? Is your final image less legitimate? That's AI art too, don't f'ing kid yourself. Is adding a plugin to allow physical processing cheating? is having the software create a realistic atmosphere, sky, clouds, godrays/sunrays.. cheating>? Is using Photoshop to remove objects, fix blemish, move items around, change colors,... cheating? Is your final image less of an image? Ask your self this question before you say.. "AI Art, Boo... you cheated". If you think you have been creating "art" without assistance and some artificial intelligence from a computer for decades, your a f'ng out of your mind. AutoCad let Architects "Cheat" and no longer need drafting
