In Japanese, “nisemono” or「偽者」means fake or fraud. It’s not only a title of Ginger Root’s EP, but I’ve been feeling like that recently.
I joined an art club in school. Being there is nice, but there’s a sense in myself that I don’t belong there.
I'm getting weird looks from the club mates because they're real artists, and I'm an imposter or a fraud. In fact, I already have a hater once I showed them my work (i’m not gonna point names for privacy reasons).
I know that AI “art” is stealing from other artists, but I share my work ethically. I keep my prompts open so that anyone can learn and create remixes of my work. I don't even use artists in my prompts (except in certain times, but I use public domain artists instead).
The art club is my last resort in joining clubs, as there aren't anymore available slots in other ones. Even if I leave, there’s nowhere I could go to. No place where I’m accepted.
Anyway, that’s all I could say.
