So even if AI were just another tool/technic at our disposal, there would be no reason for anyone to feel compelled to use them if it doesn't fit the way we like to work. And I currently don't even want to know how AI could be useful for me because the force-fed discourse around it is so exhausting.

I often struggle to solve issues that would easily be solved by slapping an outline on some assets, but not doing so forces me to find other ways of solving them, thus developing my own art style through sheer stubbornness. And outlines do not have the ethical issues of gen AI.

The comparison may sound silly, but I am personally very reluctant about using outlines in pixel art. I know you can do very cool things with them, many artists I admire use them. And yet, they go against the kind of result I'm often striving to achieve, so I avoid using them.

I also know artists whose skill and dedication to their craft could hardly be questioned and still use AI, which is kind of unsettling. I'm willing to accept they find something interesting in the end, even if we set aside the ethical issues, no one has to use every tool at their disposal.

Not only do we do this kind of stuff because we like the process and not just the result, the result also depends on the process. You've nurtured an intimate knowledge of the tools and machines you manipulate though your craft and how they interact with each other, which is invaluable.

I discovered your work some time after buying a gb camera and I was amazed to see everything you managed to do with it. Ever since, I've been eager to find the time to experiment with it, and I don't see why the hell I would use IA instead.
