I love art. When I was first told about AI art, and shown the results, I thought "I need to do that." Other people make it seem like AI art is easy, that it doesn't take any skill, but that's not true at all. Mastering the many intricacies of different programs to make your prompt and then spending the time to generate and look at them all is a hard process, and it takes hundreds of hours. In the past, dealing with hard stuff in my life like discrimination was scary, and art and TV was my escape. It made me feel great. Creating breathtaking artwork really makes me feel like that starry eyed kid looking at something large and complex. It's beautiful. I generate art for fun, then edit it for a couple hours and find the best images and then I show them to friends and family. To me, this is a chance to share the beauty, elegance, and ability of my art, and to show that it's not easy making good AI art.
