How do you think these cameras work? By software. "Imaging software" is such a wide term.
So, yes, these images are "created" by software. Put a bunch of data in, get an image out.

The only question is where you get the data.

But, you are right: this is not what is usually meant when people use the term "CGI". It often implies images generated from virtual data, or images adapted and tweaked by software and software users. "Photoshopped" is a term that has come to mean "faked"... but in its core, it is nothing but what photographers have done since the invention of photography. Or what our brain does with the input of our eyes. Just different, and easier to manipulate.

But Flerfers don't get that. It is another of these things they just do not understand.
Actually if you want to get technical images from video cameras are created from light sensitive microchips but I get what you are saying.

Black Hole Hysteria - The CGI BRAINWASHING Continues

This video is from VOX and it showcases the methods used to indoctrinate and brainwash the world into believing in "deep space" and trillions of galaxies. It's all CGI

7 minutes
You know, for a guy who said it was pointless to try and prove things to one side or another, you sure seem to spend a lot of time trying to prove things to one side or another.

Oh, look, the guy who ran from his announcement that he would discuss a video he posted... he's back and posted a new video.

Asserting things without being willing or able to defend them, especially after claiming to be going to do... that is indoctrination.
What's to discuss, you're totally wrong?

What's to discuss, you're totally wrong?
Am I? You think so?
Then show me. I gave a detailed explanation for my problems with this video you posted.
"Discussing" it... as I asked you to do, and you agreed to do... doesn't mean simply stating "You're totally wrong."

Let's take just one single point. Your video - something that you brought on - claims that "gravity" is a pushing force based on the diamagnetic attributes of matter.

I explained why this is not possible.

Now it is your turn to explain how it is possible.

Responding to criticism. Giving explanations. That is what science is about. Telling others "accept what I tell you without pointing out the flaws or asking questions"... that is indoctrination.

It's computer generated imagery based on real data which had to be processed into an image. iThe astronomers spent considerable time developing algorithms that would be able to render the radio data as an image, by running them against the same type of data generated from known images, to see how accurately they could reproduce the original images. When the algorithms had been tuned to turn the test data into an accurate representation of the source images, they used them on the real data. But as they were observing radio waves, the colouring is necessarily artificial - picked to look good.

You do know that lying is wrong, don't you? You do understand the deceitful way the pilot's words have been misrepresented, don't you? You do recognise the manipulative misrepresentation of images that has taken place, don't you? You do realise we are not blithering idiots?

You don't? Hmm. I wonder why.

Oh, look, a new video from the guy who posts videos, promises to discuss the claims made in the video and then refuses to do so.

So may think that this is a little bit... dishonest.

And here I was thinking you used the time of silence to think about the points of criticism I made and come up with some good explanations.
