Every line matters, across literally thousands of illustrations. 😤

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware
but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

More ideas. We’re not going to run out of ideas but generative AI is a tool for people who don’t want to be involved in the step between idea and art. People whose own ideas will never evolve or become more complex because they don’t actually want to interact with or examine them.

Everyone can create art!!! You can create art!!! Your ideas are beautiful, precious and worthy to be shared. Whatever your brain produces, it will be a million times more worthy than some stupid, soulless machine slop.
You just need to put in the passion, the effort and the time.
