A.I Art and How It Is Ruining Art as a Whole

A.I. art has recently blown up.. pretty much everywhere. You see accounts on Instagram and Twitter dedicated to sharing these pretty or even funny/silly pieces of art made by an A.I. The A.I art trend on TikTok now that everyone and their great great grandfather are doing it. It's everywhere, and it's kind of scary, actually

I understand that not everyone is using it in a harmful or bad way, some do it recreationally because it is fun to do. It's fun to put my dorky little pieces of art into an ai and then it shows something so laughably bad. it's fun. really fun. but there are also those who use it in a bad way.

Some companies have already started firing their hard-working, talented artists because of A.I which is horrible. There was a huge debate awhile ago that is still brought up sometimes that robots are just stealing people's jobs. I have to admit I can see from a business point of view how it could be good, faster working, endless shifts, and other stuff but is that really worth it to be putting people out of jobs?

Art is such a beautiful thing. From the beginning of time, we have embraced art into our cultures and passed stories through art for decades and decades and decades. Take the Aboriginal Australian Dream Time stories, for instance. They were passed down THROUGH ART. We would never be the humans we are without art. it is human nature to create art and express ourselves through it.

So that's why i find it so immoral that we are slowly letting A.I take over the genre of art. Plus A.I art is kind of odd, like in the uncanny valley. On the surface level it looks fine but if you stare at it for too long you'll start to realise that it's fake, a human didn't make that. Its such a weird and gross feeling. Like finding out a lie you've been told your entire life was well a lie. A pit in your stomach starts to grow because of the feeling.

I think A.I art has it's benefits and I know A.I has brought some great tools for real artists to use but I don't feel like they should be creating art themselves.

Nostalgia and the fear of Growing Older

I have depression all year round, but it gets especially bad in summer. Which is funny since the majority of people with seasonal depression have it in winter. I think my depression gets worse in summer due to the memories I have attached to it.

I remember as a kid my dad would always take me and my siblings to the beach during summer. but now that I'm older and don't speak to my father anymore it's just become a distant memory that I cry about.

I've always been scared of change, and growing old is big. I remember having a panic attack when I was 5, realising that I wouldn't be here one day. That there might be a chance that I did nothing for the world. That scared me and still, to this day, scares me.

The fact I don't watch Minecraft YouTubers anymore, the fact the gacha community has died out and is now basically just a ton of horny teenagers fetishizing queer and/or abusive relationships, the fact that I'm becoming more mature, the fact that I played Minecraft before hoppers were added and now for most people, they started playing there were fucking fish and dolphins and stuff. All of that is scary.

Childhood is a huge part of your life and the one that has the most impact on who you become as a person. The fact that the things from my childhood are now considered old and boring is scary and really really depressing. I miss when I was 4 and I would sit on my dad's feet and he would walk around. I miss feeling close to my brother and father. I miss the warm embrace of my parents knowing im safe and everything would be okay. I miss being a kid and it sucks my childhood was taken away from me.

All in all, nostalgia is a bittersweet thing. It'll make 'ya cry a few times, but inevitably it'll make you smile as you look back on all the positive memories.

And for growing older? It sucks. that's all, really. There's no way for me to sugarcoat it. Growing old sucks, but it also means you get new knowledge and experiences, meet more people and feel new feelings. It can be sweet if you just let go and live life.

live life, have fun, be safe :) - Vivi 🐾
