Getting real sick of slop midwives pleading for a 'respectful discussion' of AI as relates to the arts. Your use of AI to 'make art' is not respectful. It benefits from stolen art, destroys the planet, and does not make you an artist any more than someone driving 26.2 miles is a marathoner.

Today marks the one year anniversary of this book coming out in the US/Canada, almost the three year anniversary of it being out in India, and nearly the nine year anniversary of when I started it in 2017. The moral of this story is I’m old.
