Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

Myself, I'm not sure if I'm doing another chapter of Captain Bedlam or not...

AI art IS made by people, same as painted art.
Creator help anyone that pays someone else to use an AI for them...
Creating is fun! AI is not!
I always have them draw a stick person, then I go, "Congratulations, you just did art!" It helps some of them see it differently.
Screw that! I’m gonna keep being me because that’s what I know people will like
When it’s NOT too late: any time before that.
Tips for proceeding:
1) Drawing is 3 parts observing to 1 part doing.
2) Learning is 100% persistence—i.e., if you want it, don’t give up!
Plus, talking to it like this is very amazing for me. Just at it really 😂
I just say i’m “uh, a creative type, I guess” bc saying artist feels unearned but… I make some decent photographs (okay, thousands), I paint and sketch (rarely), write prose and lyrics (often), play an instrument (poorly)… maybe I should actually. Idk. Lean in more. Art more.
Not to say you have to draw if it doesn't give you joy, photography is a totally valid medium too!
At least i know that AI can't grasp how a human's inner workings go, so i will still keep going at it.
I cannot for the life of me put it into picture form.
I dig the democracy of being able to put my visual ideas down, but I'm under no illusion of it being "art".
It's also quite inclusive for some disabilities.
The opposite of ""AI"-generated" isn't "human".
But yeah.
(Jackson Pollock, for example, it’s harder to do aesthetic blobs than one might think.)

Those who value human artists will always value them.
I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.
Not mentioning how bad they are for the environment
It's everyone's problem and it's gonna become even worse if we keep using it
AI has been used for decades and is not entirely bad
Generative AI however is a tool way too dangerous for what it actually offer ; nothing. And we can't pretend no one's gonna misuse it when people already do it.
All you have to do is know where to look, and wouldn't you know it, but there's a site for that as well...
This is not the wall you think it is.
