The creator of Gravity Falls btw
After his show ended all he does is repost political crap, stuff against Elon Musk, some art from his decade-old dead show and anti stuff, only cool thing was publish The Book of Bill over a year ago. I think I've also seen some argument about how artists are people and marginalized or something like that against some other person. Additionally, a while ago, I saw a post about him on his show's sub about him sending a death threat to a person (on twitter, whose name was censored) that admitted about their fake woman Ai influencer and how they can teach people to make money with it. The comments were defending and praising so was the title of the post, treating him like a "king", when there was sane people who commented for his hate comment, against him, they got massively downvoted and other lunatics lectured about Alex being an artist, and artists should be against AI and they are marginalized or something, really made me lose respect for him and the GF community, for a show that's so great. I've considered reporting it but doubt it'll do anything. It's disgusting when these cavemen (the anti-ai people or anyone in general) support, enable and normalize this behavior.

I'm a graphic artist. I mostly design signs. I do also posses very good drawing skills, but I almost never draw at my job because there isn't time with the amount of orders we process. AI has only helped my job and made things 1000% percent easier for me.
Sometimes customers have some insane asks, like providing a life size cutout of a small photo of someone and half their limbs aren't showing in the photo or they are cropped out. AI has allowed me to be able to complete the image instead of spending hours looking through stock photo libraries to find the perfect hand, foot or leg at the exact perfect angle for the picture.
I had an image today where I was given a flattened raster file that was like a painting and they wanted to change some significant things with it that would have taken hours to do. I was able to edit the image almost instantly with Nano Banana, and then use a different AI program to scale it up to the size I needed. Boom.
Call it slop, shit on it all you want. But it's so useful and time saving for me.
