Oh definitely, multiple ones. Whether they are up to standard is another thing, but I already do it on my own machines and at work.
First of all, the following is not a slight towards the creator.
Second, to me, the original Zürich image already looks heavily post processed, something I dislike, so I was already biased. The city lights through the fog resemble patterns/artifacts that I have often seen come out of GenAI. Added to that, the fact that the celestial body that doesn’t share any lighting / ambient occlusion with the surrounding environment made me jump to the conclusion that it was quickly slapped together with GenAI source images.
That being said, I really like the typography, and the general layout works well as a wallpaper, aside from the celestial body.
The original image is from 2013, long before AI or AI processing.
The “celestial body” is a separate image, Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. An artist’s rendering of Titan found on one of NASA’s image sites. I added it via Krita. The idea being that Earth captured a rogue Saturn moon.
The final wallpaper image, the end result used, is a mix of images and color manipulation, focus, softness, and sharpness in places. Again, Krita and GIMP was used in its creation. Of course it’s not necessarily going to appear “realistic”.
I know, this is what I mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_editing
Post-processing is as old as photography, and there’s different tastes regarding to the “allowed” extent of use.
I’m not claiming it’s GenAI anymore, just that it looks like it. Again, don’t take it personally, it’s just not my style.
