#i enjoy making my ocs on picrew but that can never replace the joy of drawing something myself

can you imagine if someone said that they are severely depressed and the only way to feel better is to hunt endangered animals for sport? like we would all agree that this person shouldn't do that just because it's the only thing that makes them happy and that maybe they should a. go to therapy and b. find something less harmful, right? well i just saw someone said they use ai art bcs they are disabled and cant draw anymore so-

#m #art stuff #ai art #ive thought sometimes about how devastating it would be if i lost my sight and couldnt draw anymore #or do many of the things i love because they require me to see #and it's a very scary thought honestly #but i would just learn to move on and find something else to do #like. you know. what every blind person has to do because that's just life #but i wouldnt start doing unethical stuff like ai art which steals from other artists #also genuine question but what do you get from using ai to generate an image #i enjoy making my ocs on picrew but that can never replace the joy of drawing something myself #and it's astonishing to see an artist say that ai can replace that feeling #also not to be that person but beethoven was deaf and he is the greatest composer of all time #there are blind people who make incredible art and deaf people who make amazing music #having a disability is still not an excuse. and if it's really preventing you from creating art then do something else #im depressed and barely draw but i've learnt to do other creative stuff like gifs and edits #using your disability to defend something that hurts artist is honestly disgusting and anyone who does so should be ashamed of themselves
