it’s not a “product”

it’s not “content”

it’s not just the object

it is the meaning and the intention—and if it’s just spat out by a prompt scraped from a melange of unsuspecting artists, then it doesn’t mean anything, other than the fact that you don’t respect, love, or appreciate art or artists

I don’t know how to get this across more than it’s already been stated:

the point of making art is not that it’s easy

the point is that we work, in every medium imaginable, to communicate things deeper than language alone can

most stuff is obvious in some way, but the fact that I now have a habit of doing a quick little search to make sure that someone actually made the art I’d like to enjoy is frustrating and exhausting
