all I ever think about anymore is how these generative tools are absolutely dulling any cultivation of talent. after a decade of working exclusively with digital, I wanted to start working with physical media. paint, canvas, ink, transfer, dyes/pigments, wood, inlays etc. things I can touch, hold, hang, give away, or place somewhere there isn't a screen.

This is something I've never been able to get across to the AI sycophants, they always insist AI is better because of "efficiency" of output, but art isn't and can never really be about "efficiency," it's about humanity, expressing ourselves. And outsourcing our self-expression to a machine is so bleak I couldn't even imagine it happening in the most dystopian of sci-fi novels.
