The hot topic of discussion… yall know I stay out the way and mind my magickal ass business… but my OPINION… I’ve never used chat GPT, have no plans. When I google “no AI”.
I know how my literal existence as a human already does damage… I am a home body and don’t drive unnecessarily, I reuse and recycle anything I can in my practice and garden… hell, some of yous have gotten spiritual baths in pickle jars, or rum bottles 🤷🏽♀️
So why would I further the problem to have a cool picture when I know 🔥 people behind a camera like , .legacy__ and .jpg who can tell a story with a single shot and capture it in a way that doesn’t seem real?
Why would I use chat to generate an image for me when I know amazing artists like who took the word vomit, and what I could only see in my head and he bring it to life. So much so when I said make a lion me… he did it so well that when I don’t feel my best I look down at my hand and remember my heart. When I explained to .rex that I don’t see plant spirits the way most people do… I recognized their spirit like you see a person you know in front of you… and she creates portraits of plants that embodies every essence.
Why would I ask AI to reword something for me when, and make words seem so effortless that if soul had a language… they could translate for the world.
Why would I ask AI to look at the stars for me when transforms the meaning of the astros into a song that everyone can hear clearly and understand?
Why would I ask AI for information that I can find in books and not only come to my own conclusion … but learn a lot more than the “answer” to my initial question/thought?
I could go on forever, but you get the point (I hope). I’ve seen defenders of using “my own discernment”, “my own personal point of view”, “my power”… well, respectfully… you gave that all away using it, as well as reduced the “usefulness” or the creatives, scholars, poets, makers, and magicians all around you.
How do we preach community, who we as practitioners claim to be for…but also remove yourself so far from it?
