the reason art with ai at the creative helm will never get traction in any long term or meaningful trot is because art is more than what is in the text of the book, or notes of the song, or runtime of the movie. art is whats OUTSIDE of the medium, a performance piece between creator and experiencer

Use the term “touch grass” to indicate that someone needs to seek out reality, use the term “touch moss” to indicate that they need to seek out ancient forest magic beyond their mortal comprehension.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.
However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

These are dark days.
It’s a good time to delight in and learn from the manul, a floofy, grumpy-faced wild cat that keeps its paws warm in snow by resting them on its tail. 🌿
The manul wants you to practice self-care in hard times, too.
Look at that face.
Don’t disappoint him.
