This was a quick reply I made when someone asked how I made my works look "Glowy", but I figured I'd repost it for anyone interested.
It's just a basic technique, where you copy the entire picture and paste it on top, then blur it and do something with it. Games call it "Bloom".
Shigeru Miyamoto says even with the rise of generative AI, he believes humans will always have a role to play!
“Looking back at past designs, there are some that were created merely by copying and pasting. Yet, such work rarely stands the test of time; it lacks the individual’s particular design intention.
Because the process relies on an individual’s intent, with the computer serving as an assistant for the labor, I believe that even as technology continues to evolve, and even if AI were to eventually handle everything, there will always be a role left for us to play.”
