All by myself at TAGS today and each time it renews my appreciation for @ilmcl.bsky.social because what the hell have I been doing at conventions all these years. I put together one grid cube and this is how I feel

I have a lot of thoughts on AI (mainly how much I hate it lmao) and wanted to share them! Creating is so much fun and so accessible, experience the joy for yourself today at the low low price of FREE! 🙂‍↕️

A human-made drawing of hesitantdoodle as the starter pack trend, featuring the yellow bear mascot and some fun accessories. No AI was used to make this image. “HEY! WHY'D YOU USE AI TO MAKE THAT IMAGE? I KNOW YOU DON'T HATE THE ARTS BECAUSE YOU ENGAGE WITH THEM EVERY DAY. FILM AND TV, VIDEO GAMES, BOOKS, EVEN THE APPS ON YOUR PHONE. AI STOLE FROM CREATIVES AND SERIOUSLY HARMED THE PLANET TO GENERATE THAT INACCURATE AND PRETTY UGLY IMAGE AT YOUR REQUEST.” “IT'S SO MUCH EASIER AND REWARDING TO PICK UP A PENCIL AND DRAW! IT'S ONE OF THE BEST FEELINGS IN THE WORLD TO HAVE PRIDE IN SOMETHING YOU'VE CREATED- KNOWING IT IS ENTIRELY YOURS AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO STEAL FROM MY ANYONE ELSE TO MAKE IT!” “YOU WOULDN'T HAVE AN AI EAT YOUR MEALS OR SLEEP FOR YOU, RIGHT? ART ISN'T ABOUT THE QUICKEST ROUTE TO FINISHING, IT'S ABOUT THE PROCESS AND PUTTING YOURSELF INTO EACH STEP ALONG THE WAY! IN 2025, LET'S CREATE ART AUTHENTICALLY AND SUSTAINABLY! THERE IS MORE JOY, CONNECTION AND EXPRESSION TO BE FOUND THIS WAY!”
