I have been cultivating this mindset for 10 years.
I'm into month 6 of semen retention now and finally have zero urges or frustration at this stage. I eat one meal of meat, eggs, butter a day. Have finally been able to isolate and clearly see the effect listening to music has on my dopamine and happiness (its very bad for it). All of my belongings fit into one suitcase and a backpack. I live in an apartment by the beach. My hobbies are simply short walks in the morning, emotional movies in the evening, programming and reading in quietness during the day alone. Eliminated playing videogames for the most part, Hobbies are reverse engineering and decompiliation modding of childhood N64 games, coding my rts game engine from scratch, coding my programmable bot platform im creating. Reading. Finally i reached that peace you know about. Would love to hear a few things about your routine and how you spend your time or be e-friends [email protected] replace the first ___ with nda and the second ___ with aig :)
Artists gaslight everyone else and say their work has soul so that they can gatekeep "art" saying it can't be replicated by a machine or a modern artist (AI Artist).
However it is not soul it is egoism. The artist spent thousands of hours developing a style to make it seem like they are special. To someone with real intelligence and creativity this level of toil is unbearable and there is no motivation to do it simply to satisfy their ego because a real artist has no ego, they hack around for the fun of it.
In reality , the end product is always just paint on a canvas that has specific patterns and style applied to it and this can be replicated and improved upon by an AI Artist. The machine simply automates away the middle man, pointless egoism and the toil.

The prompt engineer has to explicitly set each parameter, he cant just press submit like the photographer presses the shoot button so I agree with you.
The tools learned to draw like artists do. By looking at reference images. So no need for anyone to be annoyed, the tools arent using other peoples photos.
