Depending on where you live, some community gathering places offer life drawing classes. One of the leather shops in my city has started doing life drawing classes. Ask around, search around!

I'm in the same boat, in my 20s and just moved to a new place. I was looking on line for drawing groups and I found a figure drawing workshop run by an artist in her home studio. I'm usually a really shy person, but I had a fantastic time because I was surrounded by people who were similar enough to me that we showed up to this workshop.
Figure drawing might not be your thing, but I'm certain there's a group doing a hobby that you like. Try one out and if you don't click with the people try another one.

a lot of local libraries have workshops and classes, find one that seems interesting to you and you'll likely have some things in common with other people going!

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 peopleās 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 AIās biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because itās a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children donāt use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists donāt use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas donāt exist, as if cardboard and tape arenāt in over abundance.

Maybe this isnāt so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I donāt want the āEveryoneā feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-recād isnāt even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN.
My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
