I merely said that it makes me appreciate it more, not that it is the only thing that makes me appreciate it (I actually read the whole thing and wrote that I enjoyed it).

Before generative AI, it would have been rare to see well designed things like this made by individuals and when I saw it, I would think that it is awesome that someone put so much effort and creativity into a hobby project. Even if it would not look professional I could have appreciated the expression of individuality.

Now when I see things that just look "too perfect" I cannot help but immediatly think "yeah whatever, it’s just AI" and if it happens to be real craftsmanship instead, I believe this would have been really sad, hence my comment. All I said was that I would like to know their contribution, not that this is all that matters to me.
