AI and Witchcraft are incompatible
I can't believe this needs to be said, but you cannot practice witchcraft and use AI. Writing this while kinda (very) pissed so bare with me and apologies if this is a little incoherent.
Most if not all witchcraft practices are rooted in nature to some degree and, seeing the environmental impacts of AI, using such a tool goes against core values of the craft. If you use AI, you are directly supporting and indirectly contributing to the ongoing water shortage and the environmental destruction AI data centers cause. Your craft will then be tainted by this and your hypocrisy will come back to slap you in the face when you least expect it.
And if (for some reason) you do not care about the environment (why are you even here, then?), you are actively stunting your own growth as a witch by offloading tasks to a robot that doesn't understand the intricacies of the craft, only its aesthetics. Not to mention all of the blatantly false and outdated information these models are trained on. Witchcraft is, among other things, about connecting to your own intuition, your ancestors and the shadow work this entails. AI cannot do that for you. Yes, the research can feel overwhelming and shadow work may make you feel uncomfortable at times, but it's all part of what witchcraft is about. If you need help with research, there are plenty of resources online to help you make sense of it all without letting a water chugging machine think in your place (youtube videos, blogs, dedicated websites, and probably more that I can't think of right now.)
Trust me, whatever spirits or deities you work with would much rather see you make a mistake and learn from it or make bad art and bad sigils. Your practice doesn't need to be perfect or aesthetic, it just needs to be authentic, something that AI in all of its forms cannot be.
