The day I swore off AI filters for good
I finally stopped using those quick AI filters to finish my drawings, and my actual skill is finally getting better. It was a shortcut that made my work look good fast, but it left me feeling like a fraud. Now my sketches have more real life in them.

Never thought I'd agree, but your experience with ditching AI tools really hits home.

I get what you're saying, but is it really that deep? Like, they're just tools. I use a filter sometimes to fix a bad photo, it doesn't mean I'm cheating at life. Elliot887 makes it sound like using any help makes your art fake, which feels a bit extreme. Can't it just be a mix of both without all the guilt?

Used to swear by those AI filters for my sketches, thought they made me look pro overnight. But then I started noticing my own lines getting lazy, like I was letting the tech do the heavy lifting. Your point about feeling like a fraud rings so true, it's like you're cheating yourself out of real growth. Now I'm trying to put in the hours with just a pencil and paper, and it's tough but way more satisfying. Honestly, your post might have just convinced me to ditch them for good too.
