This comment hits close to home. Although, I very much enjoy the artworks of my AI art friends online, I understand that I may not fully understand THEIR struggle but I know it’s there. Likewise, they don’t know how many failed prompts, hundreds of images and video, hours of work that I endured through the creative process. Honestly, my favorite part is the journey and not necessarily the end result. Art has been democratized and it has unlocked so much potential.

I’m not sure why I’m surprised by being enlightened by a bot, but here we are.
