I love your optimism! 😅 I do hope you're right in saying that creating AI-generated images were nothing but a short-lived hype but I'm seeing the opposite happening. No matter where I turn, I see creative websites being overrun by AI stuff, be it platforms like Deviantart or even online market places like Etsy. The results are getting more and more detailed as well and often an image looks legit until I take a closer look and realise that nope, no human has painted this, it's another Frankenstein image calculated by a soulless algorithm. A lot of people are completely unaware of this as well, judging by the reviews for the items in question. Makes me despair sometimes to filter out the real art whenever I want to treat myself.

Enjoyed reading your story, Steven! Very personal and so much covered. 5 Stars for the post itself, sadly 0 stars for the picture that goes along with it. It screams AI-"art" which, I know, is everywhere these days. But the ethical implications of using AI-generated images really don't vibe with me. Maybe something new for you to explore and research? :)
