NO A.I.

The last two years have been one of the worst in regards of my personal art-journey.Not that I already had to struggle with an "artist-block", and mountains of inner doubts,but also the rise of arteficial generated images pushed me near the boarder of an "art-depression"...

It just feels... not an encouraging time to start a little "art-career" - whatever that means - and connect topeople on a genuine basis.

And thats not to say, that I myself am not impressed by some of the outputs and the possibilities of A.I.

But after testing midjourney for about half a year, my inner landscape and my inner mood started to withermore and more...

Allthough the output is really amazing and the beauty of A.I. images is undenieable - it just felt "wrong" to me.Is this what I want ?

Do I want to be a "prompter" - leaving the very creating-process up to a machine, a pre-coded and pre definedprocesses ?

What are 50+ beautifull images worth, at the end of the day, if I myself feel empty when I go to bed ?

Its tempting - because with this tool, anybody is able to "let create" images, more consistent in style, more "beautifull" and a myriad times faster then I will be ever able to paint...It is tempting - to just prompt "a beautifull girl" instead of struggeling day to day with learning anatomy - with facing the very own, personal incompetence in every image...

But... but... is this who I want to be ?

Someone who is frightend about his own inability to draw and paint ?

Someone who flees his own imperfection, into a pre-defined subscription model of midjourney ?

No.

So, I say no to A.I. art.

If I have to choos autenticity and personal connection to my art over perfectionism... fuck perfectionism.

A.I. Art is not "bad" - but its not "MY-ART"...soooo
