I have and always will persevere in the arts that I have dedicated my life to, to provide me and other artists with the success and sense of fulfillment that we have fought so hard for in a world where there seems to be an uprise of AI technology more than ever. My drive stems from the need to demonstrate to others that art can take numerous forms and must be conveyed with the respect and significance that other genres have been shown to have. You occasionally need to adjust to new situations to go about your daily life in a fast-paced society. That's why, recently, instead of seeing AI art as a problem hindering my motivation, it instead helps me grow more as an artist. I'll explain why. As we are all aware, many artists have expressed their uneasiness and indifference to the AI uprising, but I believe that rather than avoiding it, we may benefit from it. We can use it to see where we can improve on things like coloring, composition, shading, and other aspects, and by doing so, we have turned it into a tool rather than a burden. Using this technology and the knowledge I already have will help me in the interim as a young student who hopes to establish a business and sell my art in the future. The Vtuber community is one that I would like to dabble in the future because it is incredibly lucrative and growing. You can rig models for your customers to use as their own. That would be a significant thing I'd like to do in the future, depending on how stunning the art and the rigging are. People would pay hundreds just for one. At the end of the day, I believe that every artist should at least give AI a shot and then decide whether they view it as an ally or an enemy. And they will continue to be passionate about their work, whether they decide to use it or not.
