Drawing is fun. There’s something really fulfilling about taking an image or idea from your imagination and turning it into a physical reality in front of you. It’s a hobby humans have had since we first became humans, and I’m not about to let some machine take that away from me. I don’t care if it takes me minutes or weeks, the effort is what makes the piece mine. There’s no substitute for that satisfaction.
It’s also pretty dang cool to be able to literally show people what you’re thinking, to manifest dreams into physical reality. Being an actual artist gives you the power to do that.
100%. Sometimes words simply can’t cut it, and there’s no way an AI can capture the exact perspective I’d like to convey. I got into art as a way to communicate the way I see things, which seems to be different from how many people do. I love having a way to express abstract concepts, from the warmth I feel when drinking coffee, to the cloudiness that fills my brain when I’m overwhelmed. People resonate with the human commonality behind it all, and I’ve found that making visual representations can go a long way in helping others understand my mind.
No AI can do that. The thought of adding an extra middleman that can’t comprehend the assignment, and having to waste time prompting and re-prompting because of it, sounds like a great way to end up giving up in frustration.
