I was an emo kid. I had this album on REPEAT on my little boom box, in my parentsā€˜ cars, and on my mp3 player after I ripped it from the CD. I was obsessed with Simple Plan. I remember in 7th grade, I came home from school after not getting a single Valentine’s gift or card from my friends even though they were handing them out to each other, and I was very upset. My dad came home from work later that night, and teasingly said something along the lines of ā€œoh I bet everyone was lining up to give you a gift today.ā€ and when I broke down crying, my mom yelled at him that I hadn’t gotten any and that I was very sore about it. He left to go to the store and bought me some candy and this CD. It was one of the nicest things my dad has ever done for me. He isn’t always great at sharing his love, but this was so sweet.

Made after a seriously devastating relationship that ended with unrequited love. I was deep in it and music was my only way to cope. Because I was so miserable I can stand by this playlist because it helped and it’s always there to return to next time.

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours? I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy. Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

My name is Shawna. I responded ā€œoh my god! My name is Shawn, too!ā€ Then stuttered through saying ā€œwait, no, that’s not my name.ā€ and since I was so anxious I just rambled for way to long about the difference between our names.
