I recieved a hand-crafted card in the mail today, and it made me really happy!
It also made me reflect for the billionth time on auhenticity and our reliance on technology.
Is digital art doomed - too mimicable and too close to AI slop to be trustworthy? Should we all go back to charcoal drawings of live models and washing oil paints out of brushes?
Hard work, life experiences, and time. That's the value we put in things we make, right?

@petrabrandstrom If digital art requires a high definition video of a person making it, that would make it that much more fragile than the rest.

@petrabrandstrom I think many digital-only artists are changing direction, changing their style, to avoid looking like generic ai art. It's gotta be difficult, but since when is art not? I think ultimately this will benefit real art, and artists, by pushing things into a never-comfortable zone. Always change, always evolve. But then again, I'm no artist so I might just be talking out of my ass.
