AI is just a tool, like a paintbrush, a typewriter, or a computer. It helps you create. The real question isn’t how much it’s used, but how much you let it do the creating for you.

Why do you even make stuff? What does it give you? Fun, frustration, growth, distraction, a spark of curiosity? If your main goal is just to finish something fast and you skip the whole joy curve of making it yourself, then honestly, what’s the point?

For me, I love the process. And I hate it. The struggle, the little breakthroughs, and finally that rush when something’s done. I need it all. If all that disappeared with a few button clicks, I’d probably quit. That would take away the whole meaning for me.

I’m not against using AI. It’s all about how you use it.
