No A.I. Images !
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 to
people 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 wither
more 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 defined
processes ?
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….
! A.I. FREE ZONE DECLARED !
! IMAGE GENERATION PROHIBITED !
