Hey friends, just a quick note to say thank you for all the feedback lately.
I’ve heard your concerns about AI-generated art, and I want you to know I’ve taken them seriously. While creating audio will always be my main focus, I understand that the visuals matter too, and that for many, the use of AI art raises real ethical questions.
I’ve used generative AI in the past to help bring many of my silly ideas to life, creating thumbnail covers, but I’m now stopping all AI use entirely.
I have now replaced all covers with art I’ve drawn myself or commissioned directly from artists. Although some of these are still BASED on the art AI created early on.
My local computer’s electricity supply is entirely renewables, and I will continue to be ethically conscious and fair to real artists.
And on that subject, here’s me taking DAYS to draw my new profile pic:
A quick reminder for those upset by my previous AI use; I’ve commissioned many pieces of art, spending hundreds of dollars this year alone. So I have ALWAYS supported artists and genuine creativity, and always will.
Covers are, and always will be, the dressing, not the main course, but I do care about the community, and I want this space to feel respectful, creative, and welcoming for everyone.
Thanks again for being here, and for helping me grow.
Love Yall.
