As a small disclaimer, I just want to reiterate that I still support artists. Just because I want to see what AI does with my first grade level art doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t still support a real human.

I think it’s awesome to see what it does to MY art, but honestly as a whole, AI art is all the same… cartoonish, uncanny valley monstrosities.

In fact, it doesn’t discourage me from creating more art, even if it’s pretty sub-par. I have a lot of wacky ideas and I love seeing them come to life, even if my old hands don’t cooperate in the way my brain sees things.
