how did things go so wrong in just a short amount of days?
i want to get out of here, please, for the love of god. we lost the house we were going to move to because they rented it out to other people while under contract, so now im stuck with a shitty brother and a shitty neighbor.
and with the rise of ai art.. art with no soul.. no compassion or understanding, just mangled messes now threatening my future- or at least the future i think i wanted to have.. i was never really sure on what i wanted to be in the first place. but its here to day, no matter how much i wish it away. people would rather have a mangled mess of stolen souless art than to hire actual artists, or even writers. art is dead, it was always just a phase and i dont know how to cope.
i want to wish back to where i was- so full of hope.. but now i can hardly draw or do anything.. i cant.. do anything. i have nothing else. ive been thinking of ways to die, but a part of me doesnt want to because of how costly it would be for my family, especially after they had to bail out my brother after fighting with the neighbor.
but.. if i die.. and no one finds my body, would it still be costly? i dont know. i just want to escape all this and i dont know how.. i feel like im going insane.. and im always on the brink of tears now.

While my bkgd is science, I’ve always had a love for art and a respect for artists. It was beautiful art that got me to read books. It was esp. sci-fi art that inspired me and made me choose my career path.
So I am aware of AI art, I don’t think you’d necessarily lose your job, because only you have your style and can respond to your customers or manager’s requirements.
Sure if they are heartless bastards and think they could do it cheaply from using AI then yes there’s not much to stop them.
Other people’s jobs are threatened also by AI and perhaps it might take over most jobs, including in the engineering field for example…though it’ll take time.
You could also work in another country like Japan where artists are in demand and treated well, but do your research, don’t go by my word since I’m just speaking from my limited knowledge.
As for moving, I understand the frustration. I was in a position to buy a house, but everything sucks in my price range…eventually my mtg approval expired and rates went higher, so I’m forced to keep renting for now. Will try in a year when rates hopefully go down again, if they do.
At least you have a place to stay, but if you cannot tolerate your brother, see if it’s possible to live on your own. You might need to make a career change if artists are not in demand.
You could also maybe do digital art and desktop publishing, it’ll maybe keep you in a similar field.
You seem like a nice person, I wish you well whatever you do.
