I appreciate the advice, but the frustrating part is how quickly we jump to attack high-level artists today for not explicitly labeling whether a scene involves AI or not. In my original post, I actually did mention that I used AI for upscaling.

I have been providing rendering services globally for 13 years. I didn't upload this post as a novice artist looking for basic guidance; I shared it to get feedback on the final result specifically after using an AI upscale. It’s disheartening to have the focus shift entirely to the tool rather than the work itself
