The paramters and code to manipulate the design data was still coded by
humans, not the machine itself (this is akin to saying that 5 of us together
can think of more grammar variations than one of us alone, so the options
we'd code would therefore be more varied - bur we's tsill have to code
them).

And virtual realities are also reflection of the human mind and
creativity/fantasy as these "competations" were neither real nor designed by
machines.
