Today I learned that, what many are referring to as “optimistic nihilism” already has a name: existentialism.

A Weakness.

Thinking of the day ahead I wonder what I will then do with my time

What a situation to be in Knowing where I want to go

No way or idea Of how I'd like to get there

A daydream Turned nightmare

At the lack of passion or ideas As to how I want to spend my time in this realm

Not to be cynical But truly what is the point of all of this?

For the thought of you to exist An additional 30 years (if you're lucky) after your spiritual form moves on?

I understand the yearning to make ones mark on this world But when carving a sculpture

A mark imperative in the moment Isn't something one will often know was once made by the end

Maybe for me at least it's more about Maintaining some semblance of happiness along the way

It takes courage and bravery to step out of your comfort zone, everyone knows that. It takes motivation and determination to get up and clean your room on a bad day. It takes patience to wait for an open booking for a nail appointment. Its things almost everyone has to do.

So chill,

take a day, all for yourself. Cancel any unimportant plans that you didn’t want to go to in the first place. Wake up early that day, skip the coffee, tea instead. Make you some waffles, with strawberries and blueberries on the side. Go brush your teeth and hair, washing your face with cold water. Do your regular skin care routine. Get dressed, go on a morning walk. Feeling the morning breeze pass through the air. Look at your surroundings, take it in. The world is a beautiful place. And we need to take care of it. Go home, do some yoga to relax. Take an hour to do some personal needs. Eat lunch. Read a book, watch a movie or two you’ve been waiting to watch. Take a nap, rest your head. When you wake up, take a hot shower. Doing all of your needs, like shaving, and your hair routine. Start making dinner or get something to eat in general.

Overall, just take a relax day, everyone needs it. Dont surround yourself with negativity. It’s okay if you’re scared. But if someone is negative and rude you will end up exactly like them. Don’t end up as the withered flower nobody wants to pluck.

It’s my last week of holidays and I am enjoying it❤️. I spend the start of new year with my lovely family and friends and try to contact the people who are good for me and start to disconnect with people who hurt me and make me feel bad.

So far it’s a good feeling.

I will try to prioritise myself more. Therefore I start with sports, read more and connect more with friends and people around me.

Today will be a great day ☀️

#good morning ☀️#happy new year #make yourself proud

So for those who claim AI art is real art; The biggest AI "Art" Program, Midjourney, has a huge bit of info that just came out.

What is this info, you ask? Well the development team behind Midjourney has been keeping a list of names of all the artists they were stealing from. And recently there was a large lawsuit that is happening. Currently the number of artists affected are reaching around roughly 1.5k.

Let me repeat: 1 THOUSAND, 5 HUNDRED ARTISTS. Which all had their art styles/ art pieces stolen for Midjourney to abuse and mash together. Maybe there's more numbers, more artists being stolen from, but this just comes to show that no AI art can fully make an original piece because they steal from artists that actually take the time to learn the craft.

I know most of you have your questions and concerns about this so lemme answer some of them:

-"What's the difference? I mean, I've seen artists use their computers to make art."

The difference is that artists have to pour money and time into buying the right device for their art, either being a tablet that hooks up to your PC or a tablet that becomes it's own display of your PC. Not only that, but they have to scour their sources to get the right art program for them. Not ai program, but a program that uses brushes, fill buckets, stamps, and other minor things like rulers or layers or filters.

-"Ok? But digital art isn't real art."

Making digital art works the same as traditional art. In school we learn about different mediums of art. Mediums are different layouts, canvases even of what we choose to make our art from. Saying digital art isn't real art isn't true because digital art can be considered art as long as it's made with the hands of a human with a passion.

-"Well, nothing's wrong with just using an AI program."

For you it may not be, but for the grueling hours artists have to spend to just have their work, their style, their own identity stolen- it could be just as bad as pirating a movie.

-"Well I don't know how to draw. Using AI is easier."

I assure you all artists didn't know how to draw at one point. But art isn't just some sports skill that needs muscle memory, like football or baseball. It's a craft, a product made from one's imagination and creativity. What matters most is how you use of it. What everyone needs to remember is Art takes time, and that practice doesn't make perfect; it brings improvement.

-"AI art does the work faster than I could do it."

Sure but there's a reason many people say Quality over Quantity. What does this mean? Well, in this case you can make all the AI art you want, but it will lack the personality behind their work. As for if you did it yourself, it may not look like the Mona Lisa, but it came from your gut, your heart, your MIND. Wouldn't you like to share a work with someone and say "Look what I did!!"? I would.

-"AI art gets me more likes."

But then what? You also get scorned by the artists that take their time for their work. There's only so long an AI user can hold out until they get tired of the backlash from the human artists.

-"Who cares? It's just a picture."

Artists do. Artists whose work was probably stolen to make your picture. Art enjoyers who have to worry if this is the future of art. Upcoming artists who has yet to improve their art.

-"Well since you said AI steal from artists, don't Artists also steal?"

Yes, some of them do. But let me clarify exactly what I mean.

So there's three main terms people use when using someone else's work: Reference, Tracing, and Stealing

Reference is using bits and pieces of ideas from other artists and remixing them to fit your style. Think of it as if you were tasked with designing armor. Well you can't just pull one out of your brain and say "Here's the armor!". You'd have to look up what armor looks like, where the separate pieces go, what layer folds over which, what protects the wearer, etc etc. things like that is what reference is.

Tracing is also a way of reference, but not the way you think of it. See with making a subject like a human standing up, you have to figure out how the joints bend. While referencing is nice, that's more of a complex strategy. So? What then? You can trace over the individual limb or piece to understand how it looks. Tracing mainly helps with perspective and also with details. Do you remember tracing over your hand in grade school? Think of it like that.

Stealing is not a way to learn from your art. Oftentimes the way someone can see a piece of work as stolen is by viewing the detail behind the art. Does this artwork have another that looks just like it by another artist? Does this artwork copy the same perspective and subject? Does this artwork have any base sketches or time lapses that shows an artists current formula? If you answered no to the last one and yes to the other two, congrats. The piece of art is stolen.

Oftentimes when artwork is stolen, the thief is reprimanded and gains the distrust of the community.

This whole tangent I went on is how you can tell someone really looked into art. Art can seem easy to copy but I assure you it's no easy feat. Could AI possibly get rid and replace artists? Maybe, but in doing so the art loses their luster, their shine. Eventually, if that happens, all artists that are currently living might probably leave social media. And there's only so much AI can create before it gets too repetitive and the errors AI makes are a pain.

-"Well why do you care?"

Because I was taught that art had meaning. Maybe not every bit of art, but the ones that are made with the finest of details are. I used art to escape the stress, the fear, the worry I had in my younger years. Art connected me to other people like me. I was bullied a lot in school so Art was the friend I had when nobody else became my friend. Through the pains of betrayal and constantly being unsure if I would even have a home again, Art was the one that helped me steady my feet and express myself in ways my words couldn't. I've met some amazing teachers and mentors that found me through my art. Some through my digital/traditional art, and some through other crafts I learned, like sewing and photography.

-"I would try, but art takes too much time and is too expensive."

All it takes is one canvas and one tool. If you choose to make digital art then there are plenty of free programs that gives you plenty of free brushes and tools to use. I personally use Medibang. All you need is a phone, or a tablet, or a computer.

If you choose traditional just get some cheap copy paper or a mixed media sketchbook and some pencils. If you want color, grab some cheap colored pencils or crayons. Eventually you'll find a medium you like and only from there you'll begin improving.

-"Nobody will teach me."

Many artists online will gladly give tutorials on how they learned to draw. Some may be more detailed, but you'll learn a way you like.

-"What if I don't want to draw?"

Well artists across many other platforms are accepting commissions and could use support. Just find one you like, request your art, and let them work once you come to an agreement about payment. Just a safe note; check through their history and prior works to see if they're legit. Some accounts usually steal from others.

-"How will I know which artists are good artists?"

Listen to the community. The biggest ones are currently TikTok and here on Tumblr. if anything bad arises or if an upcoming artist is shown to be open minded to their fans, you will know if that's an artist worthy of support.

I will simplify all of this. AI art could replace human art; but it can never fully replace the soul, the dedication, the skill it takes to make even one piece of art. If anything, consumerism is trying to make us feel like we will accept anything.

For a long time we did; We relied on Ai when it helped function our household items, when it aided us in the simple pleasures of miniscule things like self-checkout stations. When it vended our drinks and foods after a long day of work or when it heated up a stove for us to cook on. But for Art, Art is something that can't be replaced.

There's a reason why people grow so fascinated over art made in countries where AI isn't used, where they are seen as Natural Talent- But just to let you know, Art is actually a learned talent: Not with exercising our muscles, but our minds and hearts.

#ai art #ai art is not art #ai art is art theft #ai art is stolen art #learn art #make yourself proud #Seriously we need to stop allowing big media companies to dumb down our work #anyone can learn art

Five minute ago, you were fourteen, sitting on the bathroom floor with weeping wounds wondering how the fucknyou were going to survive.

Four minutes ago, you confessed to your mother that you in fact were not okay. You hadn’t seen her cry so much

Three minutes ago, you celebrated your 17th birthday, laughing loudly as you blew out the candles on your cake.

Two minutes ago, you went to church for the first time in years. And thanked God, that you were still alive.

I got to see all of this because the world didn’t end when I was 13,14,16 and 17
