... obviously
There's a funny argument that follows from my claim that I don't use AI to generate my drawings, if I'm using a mathematical model for the receptive fields of the neural visual cortex, then, formally, I'm using a pre-trained by nature GNN.
Also, simple receptive fields have Gabor shapes, but not all Gabor shapes are receptive fields.
