When using AI, you decide what to keep and what to discard—it’s entirely the artist’s choice. I mainly use it to generate reference materials, which is also my primary use for tools like Poser.

In the past, I used to collect images from Google or reference books to inspire my drawings and paintings, manually creating something new from a variety of sources. With AI, I can now generate the references I need. Whether this is “art” is a big philosophical question, but for me, it’s simply another tool. I’m not a professional, and I don’t claim to be , but even my painting teacher was amazed when I brought in AI-generated images that perfectly matched my artistic previous works.
