People have every right to treat AI like it's an opioid.
Even in small doses, it leads down a much more destructive path. Like how tobacco gradually kills your lungs in favor of relaxation, AI gradually kills your artistic creativity and effort in favor of quick results.
I use AI on my thumbnails. My plan was always to hire artists for that, the moment my videos started making money.
But seeing How a LOT of people online, artists or not, Brand a Scarlet letter on you forever If you DARE to mention AI, well... Guess i'll keep using robots then...
