I think the point here is that anything that can be indexed by search engines or archival crawlers would be better, so not Matrix either. Forums, for example. Like what happens if the Discord community gets deleted due to whatever circumstances? All of that gathered knowledge will be just gone with no way to recover or search for it.
I started drawing seriously when I was 14. Looking at my old artwork, I didn't start improving fast until I was around 19 or 20. Not to say I didn't improve at all during those five to six years but the pace did get faster once I had "learned to learn" so to say. That is to say it can take a lot of patience to get to a point where you actually start seeing improvement fast enough to stay motivated. But it is 100% worth it because at the end you have a lot of things you have created with your own two hands.
And regarding the point on physical limitations, I can't blame anyone in a situation like that for using AI if they have no other chance for realising their imaginations. For others, it is completely possible and not reserved for people who have some mythical innate talent. Just grab a pen or a brush and enjoy the process of honing a fine skill regardless of the end result. ❤️
This whole AI craze has just shown me that people are losing faith in their own abilities and their ability to learn things. I've heard so many who use AI to generate "artwork" argue that they tried to do art "for years" without improving, and hence have come to conclusion that creativity is a talent that only some have, instead of a skill you can learn and hone. Just because they didn't see results as fast as they'd have liked.
I'd scream "oh no!" so the wicked fairy wouldn't figure out it's fun for me and change their mind, and then I'd just chill with my dog or cat life. If I could be taken care of by a trusted person or people, that would be great.
I've had a field day while writing my thesis recently, realising I could bypass the paywalls by accessing the papers through the university proxy. It's still bs, though, because it leaves this stuff only accessible to researchers and not your regular people who may be interested.
Though like PrinceWith999Enemies said, many paper writers will happily send you a copy if you email them about it.
Yup! Whenever I play in a high magic setting and want to incorporate disease, disability or death into a story, I always come up with a reason why it cannot be fixed with magic, or why the character didn't want to/couldn't fix it with magic.
I ended up just disabling the alias I use to receive emails from LinkedIn. Since I noticed I just kept deleting those emails without ever reading them, I figured I'd just opt to not receive any emails. :D
