Granted, I understand that that mouse could also be a key to starting to use generative AI, but I think we should try to encourage artists to try and learn how to use it to master their skills in programs like Paint, Krita, etc. just as much.

Maybe it's just me, but "pick up a pencil" implies to me that people HAVE to go traditional when that's just simply not true and in fact I imagine there's people out there that are saying that that don't even USE a pencil to draw. Kind of an oxymoron if you ask me.

But who am I to talk...
