    None of what you said is really contradictory to anything I said. Everything you just said makes perfect sense. I said it looks like a human did a bunch of them, and did a pretty excellent / creative job, and then that gen AI did some of the vast selection of others.

    I think I laid out pretty clearly why I think that. Jennifer Daniel didn’t make the fairy picture with a square sunset for a head and also a square sunset on the tip of its wand. For another thing, there are about 186,000 combinations of 2 of the 610 emojis on offer for this tool. It seems unlikely to me that any single human being would do every single one. It would start to multiply into years of full-time work time spent on them pretty quickly, even with some automation, and there are clearly AI tools that can fill in a bunch of the non-critical-to-get-perfect ones, so why not. Some seem clearly likely to be from a human, some sort of look like automated templates that aren’t gen AI (like the alternatives next to a “downward chart trend line”), and some are gen AI.

    Anyway, I’m not trying to argue with you. I agree with most of what you said including that the human-generated ones are awesome, which is why I posted this.
