Life is short and I like creating things. AI is not part of how I write, or code, or make pixel art, or compose. It's very important to me that whatever I make represents some sort of creative impulse or want, and is reflective of me as a person and my life and experiences to that point.

If other people want to hit enter, watch as reams of text are generated, and then slap their name on it, I can't stop them. But deep inside they know their creative lives are shallow and I'll never know the same.

The problem is this kind of content is flooding the internet. Before you know it becomes extremely hard to find non AI generated content...

I think we agree. I hate it, and I can't stop it, but also I definitely won't participate in it.
That’s super cool, and I hope you are right and that I am wrong and artists/creators like you will still have a place in the future. My fear is that your work turns into some kind of artesanal fringe activity that is only accessible to 1% of people, like Ming vases or whatever.
That's true art, I love people like you. Technology can do a lot of things but it cannot give people or society principles, and without principles society fails.
