I survived! And, I created an AI-free art reference resource and found a great community around the effort. (Technically the site launched late 2024, but 2025 is when it took off.) I honed my photography skills and have taken over 30,000 photos this year as part of it. I’m really proud of all of it.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

If you want to create something but you can't think of a way to bring it into the world without AI, I don't think you want it badly enough.
