i mean, the fact that you dip your toes into so much speaks to me about the difference between you and i, haha. not that being a potential "jack of all trades, master of none" demonstrates ambition, but still, i can't even imagine committing to a single thing for the sake of creative expression, yet you've dabbled in so many, haha. plus, even if you diminish your art skill, it's crazy to me to be able to get that far at all, haha

about ai, i mean, even ignoring my lacking the ambition to ever learn how to draw, ever, even if i somehow /did/ have the ambition to draw, i personally wouldn't feel demotivated by ai, because... well, i'm thinking about it, but i don't know if i am conscious of the reason why, sorry. but i guess i would envy the time investment and discipline difference between the two skillsets, in ai requiring far less. i guess i just feel, if i had the ambition to draw, drawing in itself would be the reward. for me, making captions comes easy to me (at least in the format i'm making them; i've seen some people just basically write short stories as a caption (likely just beside the image, rather than typesetted over it like i do), so i don't really feel like making the caption is its own reward; i would like appreciation for it, haha. so, if i were alone in the universe, i wouldn't bother making captions, right. but i could see myself learning to draw, provides i could find the inspiration to do so. of course (or, maybe it doesn't go without saying, but personally) were i an artist, i would post my art online in every circumstance somewhere- provided i got to the point where i were proud enough of it-, save for art studies or works-in-progress or just putting hours in to hone my skill, etc.. but like, me just drawing something gratuitous and self-indulgent? i'd post it, always, and i'd like appreciation for it, haha
