Are there any Humans on this forum?

I'm still human, probably.

If I had to guess what the "problem" is, it's that art forums (and artists in general) are going the way of the dinosaurs. Because, you know, AI and whatnot.

Most of us art enthusiasts just sit at home drowning out our sorrow with Top Ramen, brownies, classic video games, and other assorted nostalgia triggers. Sometimes I even find the strength and courage to open my window blinds and look outside.

Mostly though, I just sit in my room, lights out, listening to depressing music, brooding, pondering the fate of our species. 

Soon we'll have plenty of company: musicians/singers, writers, actors, graphic designers/animators, programmers, mathematicians, truck/taxi drivers, customer service/sales reps, secretaries, financial analysts, paralegals, prostitutes...

It's a brave new world out there, so take care of yourselves!

Nah, screw that! AI gets better and making pictures every day. But it isn't alive, it doesn't even 'think'. It will never feel awe, or heartbreak, or guilt. It will never be happy to see another sunrise. It will never suffer like we do. It's not too late to make something real! This place has always been about pushing each other's nose to the grindstone, so let's get to work. I'm not giving up, and you shouldn't either!
