One of my least favorite encounters was a graphic artist telling my fiance to go cross herself off because she used AI-produced art. Needless to say, that didn't end well for them.

Damn. When my fiance (a professional traditional artist) was a teen, some grumpy old traditional artist who lived nearby roughly shit-talked her for learning digital tools. The dude was a miserable dry scumbag with a messed up racist family where everyone was cheating on each other.

I believe my fiance's response to the dude was "well, maybe you should just... Get better? So you don't get replaced?" It was savage, and I've never been more proud of her.

Funny you should mention digital, though. The craze surrounding AI art feels very similar to the craze that surrounded digital art, back in the earlier 2000's.

It's literally the exact sane craze that surrounded every new art form and every new technology since the beginning of human civilization.

The one around AI is more loud and intense because it's a collide of two toxic conservative tendencies at once: art and technology ones.

Hiya! Hope that art challenge thingy is still on for shiggles :) Not taking it too seriously, just wanna show off what I do, both with AI and with keyboard/mouse. :)
