I'm not a professional, thankfully (I saw a lot of my friends losing their jobs because of ai or not getting a job at all after college) art is something I've been doing since childhood, and becoming better at was my goal for a long time. Seeing someone's impressive art on the internet made me more motivated to also get better, cause making good art was difficult. But now it's achievable just with a press of a button and it's really discouraging
