I often come across my artworks on Pinterest, but recently i saw one of my pieces labeled as AI-generated by the platform. it gave me a strange feeling.

the Internet has never been my main source of references, but lately I've been relying even more on my own photos and on observing real life. as i mentioned in my stories before, leaving aside the well-known ethical concerns around AI training, there's something that personally makes me uncomfortable: I need everything in my art to be intentional and thoughtfully created. auto-generated art and ideas take away that sense of intention, and pixel art particularly requires thinking about individual pixels. so i can't imagine adding generated elements into my work, it would just feel foreign.

so this is the kind of chaos we're in: human art can be labeled as AI, scraped to train AI models, any image can now be AI-modified by X users right in the comments, and so on.

but i find peace in the meticulous process of creation and it's not possible to steal the human experience. I simply love drawing too much to give up.
