AI art is a really common topic and we who care about art all sort of mention a lot of the same stuff, but I've been reflecting more on it so I'm just gonna go off for a sec -- Art is being passionate about your human senses and your relation to them; something ai cant do. If you’re using it to tell your story without putting in the work, it’s like using a bad translator - what you think you’d make vs what you’d actually make within your limitations. Young artists inherently understand this and that's why they need art as a way to explore and learn. The instant gratification ai art creates just enables the dehumanization of the self and others by diminishing the value/need of the steps required to create deep connections. For folks to assume that the few hours of work it takes to make the "perfect" ai piece is equivalent to years of study and practice ignores what art is actually for and why people do it in the first place.

It's increasingly normalizing a lack of deep human connection. I can guarantee you that's a stigma to keep the "peace" so we can keep consuming hollowed-out entertainment with zero critical thought. This sort of automation serves absolutely no one except for those with power.

Entertainment for the sake of just being entertaining is definitely enticing; yet very hollow. If that's the only lens through which art is viewed, we're no longer being honest to ourselves or others and THAT is so bleak to me.

I FINISHED KEEPING 13 AT 02:17 ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY MORNING AND RESPECTFULLY WTF. THAT WAS SUCH A ROLLERCOASTER

I’m so doomed for the rest of this series…

I told you love was a verb, an action. So, how do you think your love felt when your actions were anger, spite, and guilt?

so coming out to my mum as bi at 26yrs old after 10yrs of hiding wasn't on my bingo card but hey, gotta end 2024 with a grand exit. And who cares if she started cursing about it being an abomination? Happy new year folks 💫

You know, sometimes writing is mental and emotional torture…

Yes, today is one of my writing days, and I’m procrastinating (that’s why I’m on here 🤣).

I’ll just put this song up here and tag @safeuphigh @marlowe-zara @tickldpnk8 and @rey-jake-therapist because you’re the people most likely to understand what this is about, and I just need to vent.

It’s them in a nutshell, it’s everything in a nutshell, in so many ways and from so many angles. If you listen to the whole thing, you’re probably going to hate me 😩

I’m seriously contemplating turning the sequel into a “choosing your own adventure”-type thing that goes two ways, because whichever way I turn it, it’s either unsatisfactory or unfair or it absolutely kills me. Sometimes all three…

I know what I wanted to do with it, but I’m getting pulled away from it and when I’m trying to stay the course, it tells me, “No, not gonna happen, you know how this should go, don’t you?”

It suuuuuucks!

And now you know why I’m keeping myself afloat with silly one-shots and crack fics, because otherwise, I’ll just lose the plot. Quite literally…

Everyday i learn more shit about my parents marriage and wonder how the hell either of them survived it.
