This trend of “sketchbook” accounts that show pretty and thought about sketchbooks is worrying because sketchbooks aren’t meant to be pretty, they aren’t meant to be finished, they’re moments of creativity, problem solving and a calendar of your journey. Stop trying to make everything polished.

Here’s the thing. These AI trends suck because you can not be interested in environmental issues but when you use these trends you’re actively contributing to the harmful effects a generated image causes. So here’s an image made by me to filter out the garbage
