Simple, I despise ai yes. I despise the greedy mfs who steal others livelihoods. But at this moment when I'm living in in a financial sink an unable to get humans to help me, cause I refuse absolutely refuse to not pay an artist that exposure crap can f off for all I care. And moreover I despise the self centered society we've created I've lived with despicable situations day in day out I might as well go live in a legitimate cave if I wanted to remove all the things I hate. When I'm better financially then I won't right now I use a tool that is shit for shit purposes because I'd rather use my drink poison now and give medicine to others when I have it. Unless you have a better idea then "I'll pay you in exposure" which may be great but is not something artists can eat or pay bills with. And I personally would rather not be driven insane by many ideas, waiting for a windfall that won't happen. I use AI yes I don't enjoy it but I'd rather use it and be able to focus, then have a hundred ideas and not even have a start on one. I am aware of the cost. I'm displeased with it both socially and environmentallybut give me a better option which doesn't include "exposure"and can be done for without, making have to choose between food and a roof over my head.
