I now declare this thread silly!
No, seriously. If someone can tell me the point of this argument of "but it's not photorealistic", you will win...well, it's a no-prize, but really.
It's a non-starter.
Photorealism doesn't mean "Indistinguishable from a photograph".
Photorealism initially was a PAINTING movement. Yes. Painting. With oils. And Acrylics. It is a style of art that has the look of being realistic, but is still obviously in the medium in which it is created. So, the argument that "It doesn't look real" doesn't mean "it's not photorealistic".
So, unless something that is actually going to move this conversation forward is added, I'm going to lock this in the morning. I'm probably naive in showing my trust that things like that will happen, but, well, I'm tired, and I assume everyone here are grown ups.
