The process of creating is crucial to learning and growing as an artist. You make discoveries, have revelations, come up with new approaches, techniques, ideas. The process is something most artists enjoy and value deeply. If it feels like 'mundane drudgery,' ask yourself why.

AI tech has become an indispensable tool for deepfakes to distort the reality. So anything GenAI advocates say is “amazing” or “incredible” irks me in some way.

This quote summarizes the whole AI problem and situation:

AI is also a really good way to get CHEAP & WORTHLESS output!
