deleted ai from my phone + computer.

felt better after deleting AI apps and blocking AI from my phone + computer. I use a firefox extension called LeechBlock to block the AI sites I used.

i want to live an artistic life. i believe using AI would hold back my potential. i'm not a bot, and i don't connect with AI art.

still don't know exactly where i'm going. but aiming to enjoy the process.

update like 3 hours later: without AI, i feel like i can focus more on creating imperfectly at a higher output. i used to run things through AI to see what something was missing, and I did brainstorming and planning.... but i realized i want to leave all the humanity and imperfection baked in.

the process matters, not just the result. i can enjoy the process much more without AI. my creations feel more personal and real to me.

(updates to come...)
