As AI develops: This goes for writing too.
if youre an artist, dont stop drawing. ever. the second you think "i cant keep up with AI, i shouldnt draw anymore" youve let AI win. the only way we can retort is by continuing to use our own, human creativity, and skills weve honed over the years. AI can never replicate soul

Just finished Mana Mirror by @tobiasbegley.bsky.social! Was instantly hooked. Good character building, interesting world, and awesome magic system. Looking forward to diving into the rest of the series.

I got to beta read for this, and let me tell you, it knocks things out of the park. It's got a simple but flexible power system that I can easily get lost in, and I already have it on pre-order to see what polish John's added!
