I was kind of trying to become an author, in my case a writer, and I spent a lot of time perfecting my style and polishing my chapters, and studying the novels I read to write well and interestingly. But a month ago I finally gave up when, after studying the material and asking other people, I realized that I had no chance.

And if there is a chance, then for a year or several to become the author of AI, and I did not want to stoop to such a level, for me it is the greatest shame and insult. Alas, soon there will be much more real art in the comments than in these generated empty shells.

Yeah, I’m damn offended, and yeah, I think I’ve made a post like this before, but now I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk, and now I’m damn hurt, and I keep writing, and I don’t even know why, but I feel like I have to.

Yes, unfortunately, in addition, I am not a native English speaker, so this post may read strangely or stupidly, alas, but I apologize.

    Honestly, I wanted to make money from art so that I would have more free time to make my works as bright and high-quality as possible. Otherwise, when you come home from work, you are already such a vegetable that even writing a small bad piece of text is already a miracle.

    But the idea of ​​making art free sounds strange to me, or can you make it free and then hope for donations?

      Donations would be great. I dream of mine would be to get a large enough following to live a decent life off of donations and just make art. Kinda far fetched, but it would be great.

      I know one person I’ve found that did that is Chris from Airwindows. His art is a bit technical, but he makes interesting audio software and shares it all open source. I donate a bit to him.

        There are examples of people who have become so iconic in their own niche that after decades they have five to ten thousand dollars a month on Patreon.

        But with donations it’s very difficult, you need to create something damn unique, with your own unique voice and even humor. But yes it is possible, although because of AI this opportunity is slowly closing.
