#2I know it probably doesn't relate to the content; but my bs/ai detector sounded the alarm after seeing the abundance of probably midjourney-generated chapter images.

Scratchapixel is the real deal but yeah, I know what you're saying. The "house styles" of services like Midjourney are so widely seen in scams and spam that they have become an automatic red flag. Doubly so when the material is supposed to be about non-AI means of creating images - why aren't you showing the actual product of following the course?

I was also confused by that, it's a weird choice considering the articles themselves are full of original diagrams and illustrations that could easily have been used instead. The AI generated images are just visual noise.

#5An interesting excerpt from the section “3D Computer Graphics Primer”:
> The understanding of light and how we perceive it has evolved significantly over time. Ancient Greek philosophers posited that vision occurred through beams of light emitted from the eyes, interacting with the environment. Contrary to this, the Arab scholar Ibn al-Haytham (c. 965-1039) introduced a groundbreaking theory, explaining that vision results from light rays originating from luminous bodies like the sun, reflecting off objects and into our eyes, thereby forming visual images. This model marked a pivotal shift in the comprehension of light and vision, laying the groundwork for the modern scientific approach to studying light behavior.
Indeed! If you are interested in reading more about this, I recommend the article “Light Through the Ages: Ancient Greece to Maxwell”[1]. It is a very fascinating article written by J J O’Connor and E F Robertson in 2002 that takes us through a journey of how our understanding of light has evolved over the last few millennia.

I'd say your bullshit detector needs some readjustment. You can make nice images with AI, especially as chapter images.

#7I would personally try to have some non-AI thumbnails. But that's just me.

#8Yuck, AI thumbnails.
Re: Scratchapixel 4.0, Learn Computer Graphics Programming
#9Looks great! I really have to supress my "AI thumbnails means low quality AI slop" sensors though because I've heard of this site before and know it's high quality.

#10Very similar to drawabox.com in the "feel".
