why you should commision people instead of ai

This a commision I got for 25 dollars. It's not that hard or expensive to get commisions. Why are we using a program that unrightfully takes from artists to grow its art? support local artist pls!!

(this art is really good and it's from wacky_mack on tiktok. Go check her out!!!)

2025/4/10 Edited to

... Read moreIn an era where AI-generated art is becoming increasingly prevalent, it's crucial to recognize the value of human creativity. Commissioning artists allows for a personal touch and unique aesthetic that AI simply cannot replicate. When you choose to commission an artist, you are investing in their skills and allowing them to express their individual style. This creates a richer cultural landscape as each artist contributes their own voice and vision. Moreover, supporting local artists bolsters the economy and fosters community connections, enabling artists to thrive and pursue their passion. Whether it's a small piece for your home or a larger work for a public space, commissioning art helps to maintain the relevance of human-made art in a world dominated by technology. Embrace the difference that handcrafted art can bring, and encourage others to do the same! Let's support our talented artists and celebrate the creativity that can only come from the human experience.

What should I buy instead of Sambas?
I bought them today and the tab is really hurting. I can return them but I really like the shoes and it took me hours until I found shoes that I like. Is there any way I can make them more wearable and comfortable? Or Looking for another similar type of shoe that not everyone is rocking. Thoughts?

A baby in a teal dinosaur-patterned onesie sits on grass, with a pink heart covering its face. The text overlay reads: 'WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE FOLATE, NOT FOLIC ACID'. An adult's arm is visible on the right.
Text explains that real folate is natural and supports DNA synthesis and neural tube development, while folic acid is a synthetic, man-made chemical created in the 1940s to treat anemia.
Text explains why folic acid is problematic, stating it requires MTHFR enzyme conversion to methylfolate, and MTHFR mutations in up to 60% of people can lead to unmetabolized folic acid buildup.
