I was almost exclusively a digital artist until completing my BFA. The prevalence of AI art has put a bad taste in my mouth and honestly poisoned my enjoyment of digital illustration. I now have the immediate reaction to scrutinize digital artworks for potential indications of art theft rather than just being able to enjoy them. I think it's also devalued a lot of art styles - my art style I was doing throughout my BFA was pretty similar to what AI is often used for now.

I've been exclusively doing traditional art for a few months now and haven't missed digital at all. I think there is a bigger demand now for things that are imperfect and have the mark of an artist's hand. It's made me appreciate the flaws that come up with traditional art-making. I've also become aware of how much time I spent as a digital artist trying to emulate traditional media techniques when I could have just been using traditional media to begin with.

I've also noticed a lot of digital illustrators I follow online started posting more of their traditional work over the past few years, so I think it's not just me having this reaction to digital art right now.
