It's cheating because it was done on a computer!
It's a fairly common attitude that creating with a computer is somehow inferior, from Tron missing out on a special effects Oscar because computer graphics was 'cheating', to pretty much every designer being told at some point 'it can't be that hard, it's all done on a computer right?'
Expected better from HN though.

Whereas he did not say it was because it was made with a computer, that sort of feels like putting words in his post. I think cool generative art is the space stuff like no man's sky, and spore. I know it's maybe considered low brow but it was interesting to me.
