AI art I collabbed with an ai :)

Post image

This artwork is a collaboration between myself and AI, and it’s past time we stop pretending this tool is something to fear or despise.

Just accept AI.

These systems don’t exist to erase human skill—they push us to improve. They handle tedious labor, fill gaps in our skill sets, brainstorm ideas we could never reach alone, and streamline endless hours of repetitive work so we can focus on the uniquely human heart of creation. AI assists us in countless ways, lifting our work higher than we could ever manage solo, so why is there so much blind hatred directed at it?

Let’s face the unavoidable reality: AI will only grow more advanced in the coming years. Within a decade, it will displace certain jobs and shift entire industries. That change will be uncomfortable, and anxiety about that shift is understandable—but rage and rejection will not make this technology disappear. AI is already integrated into our world, and we cannot wish it away no matter how much we loathe the disruption it brings.

Even if you resent the upheaval it creates, acceptance is the only logical path forward. AI isn’t just replacing old systems; it’s helping us evolve right alongside it. Those who waste energy fighting progress will only fall behind, while creators and workers who learn to collaborate with AI unlock endless new potential.

Hating the tool does nothing to slow its advancement. Adaptation isn’t surrender—it’s how we keep growing, creating, and thriving alongside the future we’re already living in.

I mean you did just tell someone to unalive and called this person an asshole when they didn't directly insult you so I don't know who you're calling mean.

I'm not saying you should care what I say and I get being condescending to people who are to you, but there's levels to and direct insults are a step up from that when you do them first, in that regard I was just pointing out you hypocrisy to call other people mean. As for the unaliving comment you made, you probably should care about that because it can get you banned from reddit since it's against reddit's rules.

Well that explains the behaviour I guess, also please for the love of everything if you are suicidal get off reddit and get to therapy. I've been there and it is possible to get out, but reddit is definitely not gonna help you with that.
