I have had a deep rooted passion for art since before I could even speak. It's the only thing that makes me feel like myself. Right now with all of the ai, this career path seems pointless. I feel like I wasted my entire life doing something that doesn't even matter. I can't even find a mainstream social media platform where my art can get traction, and when I do, the platform RUNS ON AI! There are many towns in my country that have no water because of the selfish assholes putting ai datacentres in disadvantaged communities, and when I use apps like tiktok, Instagram, and Facebook, IM APART OF THE PROBLEM. I don't know how people aren't ANGRIER. I will be 18 next year. I thought I had everything planned. I get my GED and I go to art conventions and I keep people updated on the internet, but where am I even supposed to post my art? I spend days working on just one piece. I work and work and work and because I'm young and have no connections, my art isn't selling. I'm not even 18 yet and I still have to worry about where my next meal is coming from. I thought this year would FINALLY be the year where I can help my family and start my career but I just feel like the world is out to get me. I JUST WANT TO DO ART. I JUST WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL SEEN AND HAPPY.

i feel the world should just remind everyone that your art represents time spent and a real, human mind's creativity and skill.

That's very true, but God I'm so tired of all of the ai. It's disgusting. I want nothing to do with it, and EVERY social media app nowadays is run on ai
