note:
Yes, I know it's an image produced with AI. However, I'm also a traditional artist who saw my work being reduced with the arrival of this new technology. That's why I decided that if the platforms and social networks that train and feed AI make a lot of money at the expense of the work of generations of artists, I as an artist also want to make some profit from AI while it is still not clearly regulated and fair to those who make a living from producing art.
So, I decided to no longer post my art that I produced the old-fashioned way, whether by traditional or digital methods, on social networks and platforms. Since then, I continue to produce and work, but I keep them with me or at most exhibit them in places where they are not simply food for machines and robots.
That said, if you are also an artist who still likes to draw on paper, on a canvas or even on your tablet, keep doing it. I know how important it is for us. But be smart, don't let yourself be used without compensation by platforms and social networks, especially those owned by billionaires who screw the world. Keep supporting the artists.
So, good luck and have fun!
