Hard to believe it was 4 years ago I wrote this article, and yet I look back and seem to continue tripping over myself on several points XD

As a professional artist working in the industry, I seem to be fighting against myself a lot, especially with what is referred to as "Imposter Syndrome". Something of which a lot of creatives struggle with because we live in an time where we question why we bother to do anything anymore when it can easily be replicated by a computer.

I've certainly been following the "AI art" craze, and while it feels detrimental to the creative world and everything we stand for, I've also found a lot of merits to its existence. It's a tool, like everything else, to inspire and not replace creatives.

Anyway, I hope this thread continues to circulate, and always feel free to add your own struggles that haven't been mentioned. I would like to update the OP eventually...
