I love and echo your thoughts here, and your writing is especially impactful. My favorite part:
“How many times are we to be fed this narrative of uber creativity just waiting in the wings for the oppressive need to develop and learn an art, to kindly leave the stage.”
Those hailing the external seem to profoundly miss the importance of the process, experience, and perseverance which creation brings. Thanks for your thoughts as always!
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated. There is also a cynicism about creative work at the heart of the text to image generators—-that everything is pastiche, we just rehash what has been done before, nothing is original.
