If an artist starts using an AI tool on their art, I would hope that this new tool is so rich with possiblility, suggesting so many new avenues of inquiry, that the artists process would actually be *slowed down* by the AI. Then I would trust that artist's use of that new tool.
If, on the other hand, I hear an artist talking about their use of AI, and the first thing they say is something like "It's amazing how much it has sped up my process and increased my productivity", then I don't trust that artist and I'm not interested in what they have made.

Self-help books and videos are kind of unsettling to me, because they all kind of say "Hey, do something OTHER than what you're doing." I'd rather figure it out for myself, mistakes and all. The lessons that I learned by experience have always stuck better, anyhow.
Seeing lately how I arrived at my worldview, my politics, through the lens of my own disappointments, pain, bitterness or just plain self-interest. Makes me more willing to forgive other people's views that don't square with my own. Whose lens is really clean, afterall?
Think of a task that involves your phone. Pick up your phone and do *just* that one task. Set your phone down and return to life. You've just scored a point for the human team.
What if I'm not an artist, but instead an artwork? Like, something made me, this thing that makes things, and then laughed and moved on to make something else.
