Back around 1994 I used to use Bryce 3D to create computer generated landscapes. I didn't post them all over the Internet though... I just rendered them and stuck them in a folder.
So I guess what I'm wondering is... am I any different from the people who keep posting AI generated art?
(I mean, besides being decades ahead in my exploration.)
@fell I grabbed an example and didn't want to just yank someone's work. (I'm sure all my old Bryce renders are on long-forgotten floppy discs and probably 640x480.)
@rasterweb People constantly post works that they think might be interesting to their followers. Sometimes they are their own works and sometimes they are the works of others. Posting an AI-generated work is similar to the latter.
@msprout At my first "real" job I did all sorts of software testing and I remember we got a copy to try out and I just had fun setting it up to render things and then looking at the results and thinking "Cool!" but yeah, we never used it for anything.
But creating that sort of thing on a low-end Macintosh in 1995 was pretty amazing to me at the time. :)
