I notice that I am using AI more and more. For me, it is a tool.
Firstly, because I am not a Luddite (nor a hypocrite like some people in Hive, but I won't go into that here).
Secondly, mainly when translating, I use Grammarly and Deepl, both of which have AI in the background, and the main reason for this is that it makes my English more understandable to others :)
And thirdly, because I believe it increases the scope of what I can create in this digital environment.
I now create images and music for my own needs; I don't need any free archives. I haven't tried videos yet, but I follow @achim03, who has excellent posts about this topic.
