i love when characters are liars. i love when they’re vain. i love when they don’t know how to communicate, or simply refuse to. i love when they cause problems for themselves and also other people that could’ve easily been avoided. i love when they’re too stubborn for their own good and end up making things worse. i love when they’re consumed by guilt and grief. i love when they want to die
the fact that generative A.I. has created a completely new fundamental doubt in reality (checking to see if an artwork we see is manmade or not) and doubt in the instinct of enjoying art is unforgivable. its sickeningly tragic, and i mean it. NOTHING is worth this price and i hope that everyone will one day realize this.
