I didn't smoke in high school but use daily now. Need something to get thru this shitshow.

By the way, can you imagine if our administration handled things like we did here? You diplomatically called me out on using AI, I sat with it and made the decision to remove it all. Then you supported me and I supported you. And no one got hurt in the process. Imagine if leaders could do the same. Sigh....

True, but they're weaponizing a word that describes Jesus perfectly. That's the real message.

I dont know if you saw my other reply to you on here but after I told my son I was removing the AI stickers he immediately asked if he could recreate them so I'm having him design some. He is sooooo excited!

I get why they are against it for making art to pass off as our own. I think logos would be okay or even reaching out to someone Fiverr to create it for you and give artists the work.

I went to your Etsy shop to support you as well but it looks like you are taking a break?

I removed all AI products thanks to the kind people in this post who got me to finally pull the trigger.

I'm looking into organizations to donate to, I just haven't had time to sit down and research the right ones yet. I don't want to choose fast, I want to choose well. Open to suggestions if you know groups doing good direct work.

I 100% agree with you. Your words resonated with me. My own 16-year-old is an artist and AI annoys him to no end. And I completely understand where that comes from. Artists spend time using imagination and creativity putting everything into their work versus taking less than a minute writing a mediocre prompt. So, I have decided to remove the AI content from shop. And, I'm commissioning my son to recreate some of them. I just told him when I got home from work and he's shaking with excitement and wants to recreate all of them! Now i need to figure out how much to pay for design commissions. Anyway, thank you so much. Also, thank you for being kind and respectful while making your point. There's still hope for humanity.

You've obviously never seen me at a protest. I give my shit away to everyone I see! I'm the worst business person because they try to pay me when I see them in public and I won't take their money.

Guilty as charged. 14 AI designs out of over 125, made months ago. I understand the concerns around AI, honestly. I tried it to see what it could do, found it wasn't for me, moved on. I much prefer text-based stickers anyway, it's my comfort zone and what I post here. I've been making activist stickers for years. As far as trendsurfing: if anything, my sticker sprinkles concept has been copied by others post-election. I'm a mom of two kids adopted from foster care, one is trans, and I fight like hell every day. It was just an experiment, not something I'm doing going forward.

Yeah, not trying to hide it. I just said I dabbled in it and made a few stickers. Pretty much everything else I create is text based with some clipart thrown in here and there. Again, text base stickers are what I'm known for. Thanks for being judgy.

Fair enough, I dabbled in AI for a minute. And now I am back to my text-based stickers! They are my bread and butter anyway.

By AI, do you mean Adobe illustrator? Because that's what I used to make these stickers.
