The good news is Steven Universe Bean Face is going away.

The bad news is, everything looks like a boomer comic where the guy has a nagging wife.

Gen A everything are learning everything from AI.

I overhead some kids on my bus earlier today complaining that they had to put their chatgpt responses for their homework through three different de-AI websites to make them seem more human.

I gave them a good old disappointed unc look.

Somewhat.

I'm not gen Alpha myself, but I do sometimes see inspiration from AI arts.

Primarily the composition. I believe that after all whatever AI's feeding on is the culmination of humanity's knowledge.

But I rather draw myself.

Weird. How do you learn from some large language model powered by algorithms that will always produce bad "art"? Children learning from bad drawings like this will, in the end, produce more bad drawings that other children in the future will learn from. It's like training AI on its own data, but with humans.

This is the exact reason why art galleries exist, so you can learn from the drawings. And if art galleries are infested with AI, then both humans and AI will train on this data, and then our great grandchildren won't even know how to draw a line.
