Regenerative AI is plagiarism. The repurchased SE had nothing original they just used older IPs of what they bought and hired low-paid artists less and less and degraded the IP. They ruined FF and TR, etc. AI is just a way to pay artists even less (which is into the negative values).

Must be fairly hot to melt peppermint. I've been trying it all xmas.

Idk I've only drawn/painted a few pieces since I started 2 years or so ago and I seem to be doing ok improvement-wise? If you're not passionate for art though why do it? There's a big wide world out there, if you force yourself you'll just end up copying others as you're uninspired? That's why slow?
