The story
“i feel like crying, i don’t feel like myself / this isn’t like me at all” — TWICE, TT
2026 was supposed to be my person year. a year where i’m putting myself first, to do things i love without judgement, u know how it goes. but it’s been january and i feel like i wanna unalive.
the anti-ai bullying is getting worse each day. i mentioned previously that it’s hard to be a synthographer bc ur most likely to get an “ai slop trash” comment than a praise. they’ll trash u, fuck u up, until u snap. i guess that’s what’s happening to me lately. it’s getting problematic for me and everyone i know.
i thought that art is meant for everyone, but why does everyone think that we’re stealing images with actual creativity that gets run thru the machine? why does everyone think i’m a fraud; that i’m not fit to be part of multimedia arts course? why does everyone accuse someone of using chatgpt just by using an em dash? this greater internet fuckwad theory is getting too much man. putangina.
and hey, don’t get me started on anti’s antics. the witch hunts, the accusations, the constant bashing, even memes. don’t forget nightshade and throw in that NO-AI.gif too. “we got demons in the comments section,” says oliver tree in one song, and i think there is on every comments section.
i know that society expects u to get ur shit together, but rn i feel like i’m falling apart. i’m confused, overwhelmed, overstimmed. for fuck’s sake, i’m already losing interest in synthography bc of school. there, does that make u happy? are u happy that i can’t generate anymore bc i don’t have wifi? are u happy that u won from constant bullying? are u happy that u flip off an ai billboard or write anti-ai graffiti on a subway ad? be fucking honest, ARE U HAPPY?
i’m so tired of this bullshit. there are times where i wanted to look for some inspiration, but i end up doomscrolling instead. fuck all of this man. i can’t take it anymore. once again, thanks for coming to my TED talk.

man, i feel you. it's tough when you're just trying to do what you love and everyone's ready to jump down your throat; i've seen it happen in my own field too, where new technology gets backlash before people even try to understand it. creativity should be about expression and innovation, but it seems like some folks can't wrap their heads around that without tearing others down first. being called a fraud or getting labeled unfairly is brutal, especially when you're genuinely passionate about your craft. trust me, your passion shines through despite the noise, and those who appreciate true talent will see that too; keep pushing through, you're doing important work 🌟
Hey, dude, I totally get it. This whole anti-AI thing is like fighting an uphill battle sometimes; people can get so wrapped up in clinging to the past that they're blind to what the future holds. I know it's rough, but keep doing your thing, because innovation always faces resistance before acceptance comes around. Remember what they say: "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do" 😉
Hey, I know it seems like you're running into a brick wall with all the negativity around AI stuff; it's so frustrating when people just jump to conclusions without understanding what's behind the art and effort. But remember that every creative journey has its ups and downs, and sometimes criticism is more about others' insecurities than our own actions. Just keep being true to yourself and your work—you're not alone in this, and there are folks out there who get it too.
