If you generate a landscape using Terragen to make a background and you add everything to it, is the image really yours or not? Terragen creates procedurally generated terrain images. Terragen existed 25 years ago and nobody asked the question about how much the image was yours.

Terragen had a free version.  I made images with Terragen and no one came to tell any artist using it "you are lazy".

The videogame "No Man's Sky" uses procedural planet generation and no one claimed "developers are lazy".

What is the difference between Ai generated and procedurally generated?  AI uses neuron networks and procedural uses a different algoritm.

* No Man's Sky uses Johan Gielis superformula, Lindenmayer Systems and Perlin/Simplex noise. 
* AI uses ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit), Leaky ReLU, GELU (Gaussian Error Linear Unit), Sigmoid, Softmax.  
* Terragen uses Terragen used Perlin / Simplex modified,  fBm (Fractal Brownian Motion), Alpine Fractal.

With some math with name impossible to remember the image has no problem, and suddenly with other math the image is not yours and you are called "lazy". Do you see a problem?

With procedural generation **game developers** do not get **threats from antis**. But with AI they do.  GenAI is just a different type of procedural generation. And on top of that antis pretend to say proAI play **victim**.

I have news for you. Netflix movies already has more than 300 movies with AI and that is old news. Animation is also using AI in Hollywood.  Hasbro CEO is proAI, so expect AI in WoTC products including Magic and DnD.  Sony pictures also goes for AI. Weta also goes for AI.

I used to be antiAI, but I saw the lies and became proAI.
