I am a painter, poet and musician. I don't make much money out of any of them. It's not my job.

I create for the love of creating and the challenge of doing.

And I'm more than happy to use AI to inspire me. Dall-E 2 is a godsend. It helps jog my imagination in ways I never imagined could be.

Is it better than me at creating images? Yes. Does it matter? No. I produce for me and for the love of art.

The day may come when none of that matters, where I can create and explore worlds with a single command. But for now, the process itself gives me happiness and meaning.
