I spent a fair amount of time with p5 etc, but the results always felt limited and brittle. You need a lot of complexity before anything really interesting happens, and Processing lacks features like gradient fills that limit what's possible. It helped there were people like Jared Tarbell who (IMO) were way ahead of what most people were doing, and were willing to share their code.

I wasn't unhappy with some of the results, but it was an interesting and frustrating struggle.

You can push AI in the same way and end up in some unusual spaces, but the quality often degrades when you get there.
