If I say “soulless” I would be dishonest, ngl it seems good wtf… Hatred toward gen pic now become the new self-hurt to artist, but pwease keep creating for the sake of joy as human experience and to protec ur soul. It’s gonna be okay at the end.

The point is keep creating and doing art are hurting our soul more than curing it. It is undeniable that AI gens are taking less effort and get more attention than our hard work.

Your feeling is reasonable and valid. but still, you have to believe that in the end it’s gonna be alright, even though AI has reached an unimaginable level. You still have time for searching for the right people, right community, the right reason to thrive for. Once you found it, you may feel seen by a real soul and get appreciated even tough by small number, which could give you a meaning, purpose, and project. Not by a number predicted by an algorithm (which is AI too). I see your profile, you’re such a talented artist, defo deserve better, but first you have to be brave, seek the real thing, step back, don’t let world situation make you lose, hurting, then continue move forward. Because once again, you deserve that win.
