Raw LLM Responses

Years ago, I started doing digital art using my Wacom tablet. Lots of people, including other artists, criticized me, saying that what I was doing wasn't real art or that it was "easier," therefore less valuable. Now, AI has appeared, and I've been experimenting with it as a time-saver for sketches. I do a prompt with the idea I have in mind, and what comes out always looks unfinished and messy. So, what do I do? I make my art on top of it, using what the AI created as a base just to make my workflow faster. I've been doing art for about 15 years now. I'm used to a multitude of techniques – realism, cartoon, manga, surrealism, perspective, and all that shit. I've done oil painting, graffiti, clay sculptures, 3D art, charcoal art, watercolor, and, to be honest, anything the AI does, I'm able to do by myself. So, why did I start using it? Because I'm fucking tired of doing boring shit! I want to focus on the things I like drawing. So, when AI appeared, I was happy about it because I knew it could help me make my workflow faster. Instead of working on the boring stuff for hours and hours, I can focus on the things that are my specialty – the things I actually like doing. In my case, it's the human figure. I don't really like doing scenery and stuff; it's boring and time-consuming. But even if I'm using AI to help me with it I still need to touch it up and fix a lot of crap because I'm never 100% satisfied with what the AI gives me. So, in the end, the final result, the art looks absolutely different from what the AI did. I don't hide on my social media the fact that sometimes I like using AI to help me, but when I say that, people don't believe me. They say the art I made is 100% AI and that I didn't draw anything, and that simply isn't the truth. They demand me to do fucking videos showing my process. They start to literally interrogate me as if I needed to prove anything! And shit, most times, the AI only does about 20% of the piece and i don't even use it in all my drawings. As I said before, I only use it as a base, a sketch. Shit, people are accusing me of using AI even in the art where I didn't use AI at all. People are crazy about that shit. They say I'm stealing art; they say I'm not a real artist; they say I'm lying. Shit, even when I show proof that I can draw and that I've been doing it for ages, people are still nagging the fuck out of me. Like, leave me alone! Let me do my fucking art in whatever way I like doing it! If you don't like it, don't fucking look at it and go fuck yourself. Fuck, people are really annoying about it. I just want to do my shit in peace. Fucking hell. it's the same crap from when i started doing digital art all over again. i agree when people say that if someone just did a prompt than this person isn't really an artist, youre right they're just prompters and it's worse when this person doesn't even use some photoshop to make it look better or something like that because in the end it's something 100% made by the ai, no soul in it, but not everyone uses this technology the same way, people like me do exist. even if you don't believe it.
