Well do accept my apology. Obviously a shit tonne of skill went into this.I guess I'll post a motivational image then. I mean your argument holds solid for them too.

Motivational images can be funny. It depends on the joke.
I'm not saying that it involved a large amount of skill, I'm simply dissagreeing with you when you say that I didn't make it. My point is that we all use tools for creating a finished product. Does a painter hand over the authorship of a painting to a brush? Sure he controls the brush, but he doesn't control the actual mavements of the hairs, only the generalised sweep. Did gravity make Jackson Pollock's paintings rather than him? No.
I'm not for a minute putting myself next to these people (I'm not a complete twat) - but the principle is the same. Yves Klein was an artist for a reason.
My point is - I had the idea to create the image a Jesus made out of porn. I used the mosaic generator. The image I wanted was made. Just because I didn't go through and arrange every picture myself does not mean that the intention and authorship become void.
