We would be critical if it were AI, definitely. But very much liking this 'homage'

Controversial question….

this is an evocative picture of a fictional environment - beautifully modelled by Will, and turned into a “fake” postcard by Dave…

I’m guessing that we all rather like it.

I suspect that we’d all be very critical if it were produced by AI…

That's an interesting question. I guess that part of the reason we like the image is that it's a result of craft, imagination, artistic sensibilities and human judgement. These things we applaud when we see them across a range of endeavours. AI seems not to do nuance; I guess we've all had the frustration of talking to the robot on the phone or conversing with one on the chat box when all you want to do is speak to a human in customer enquiries. AI may be good at number crunching but **** all use at replacing a human where judgement, flexibility or taste is required.

I don’t have an AI engine but perhaps there’s a Thunderer who does. I know there are several users on RMW.

It would be interesting to see the results if one were to ask it (given the same starting photo) to produce an equivalent image.
