For me AI sucks the joy out of life. Slow art, slow fashion, slow food for me is slow because it includes community. I’m upcycling clothes. I want to protect the environment and ourselves. Please consider giving me a follow as I would love us to strengthen the slow movement!

Lovely article and painting, thank you for sharing! I used to be a slow artist, expressing myself through poetry and photography - but time has become a luxury for me. In between my two small children, my day job as a scientist and all those pesky household tasks I simply don't have the time for what I consider proper art anymore. Instead I started experimenting with AI-generated images a few months ago - exactly because it's fast and. I don't need to focus very much, I can do it while I'm on the playground with my kids. I'm still undecided, sometimes enjoying the process immensely and sometimes deeply uncomfortable. I'm still in the experimenting phase, trying to figure out if there are use cases, where ai images are really good and justified (with a focus on climate science). I post my images and thoughts about them here, if you are interested.

Loved this article, thank you! I’d love to hear you discuss about some of the negative environmental aspects of AI, like AI’s water usage for data cooling 💛
