My drawing teacher wants us to use AI generated photos for our references and I'm not joking when I say I would rather drop this class ðŸ«
Anyway I asked my mom to send me some actual real historical photos from my real family that existed in real life during the 1800s
Now I don't have to use environment destroying artist killing tech bro slop :D
Fuck generative ai and everyone who uses it for any reason

an art teacher
an art teacher is making students useai for art
an art teacher should no better
an artist should no better
when I was in art class my teachers encouraged us to use real life we saw with our own eyes over photos
because photos of the real thing could even take away some of the detail and shading your eye would have picked up on
even photos cannot compare to what your eye and brain sees
doing it in person
sitting there and being in the moment
your brain so utterly focused on what's before you
both you and it living in the same moment
affected by the same amount of passage of time
feeling the same breeze
from dust motes that travel across the thing you are studying
to the shifting of light as you and your reference both move in sync on this earth
it is meditative process
it instills a feeling in you that only you can capture in that moment
so yeah
whenever possible my art teachers encouraged us to paint in the moment
not the past
AND THIS FREAKING ART TEACHER IS TEACHING ARTISTS TO USE AI!!!!
it's not even using the past!
not even studying what once was!
your studying a monster amalgamation of thousand faces from different ages that have been uploaded (without the peoples concent)
and now you just added your face to the monster for use
like Ko the face stealer
like Envy's body made of thousand lost faces
im so done
