My stance on AI for those who are curious: 
          	
          	I will not say I've never used AI before, basically because that’d be a huge lie. However, I am a firm believer that, if I am able to create or pay someone for what an AI can produce, I will absolutely do so or pay someone else to do it for me. I’ve commissioned friends in the past to support their hobbies/business, and will continue to whenever possible.
          	
          	However, I want to make something extremely clear. I have NEVER used AI to write my stories. Never. It takes the fun out of my hobby, and I’d feel guilty taking credit for something that’s not truly my work. So, everything you read and listen to has been 100% written by me, NOT an AI.
          	
          	Basically, if I can use the least amount of AI for a project, I will 100% do so. Keep in mind though that, sometimes, I do not have the budget or the skills for what I am aiming to create (certain voices or drawings to show the aesthetic and the characters). Which, then, I would be using AI, but this only happens when I do not have the resources available.
          	
          	One of the things I despise about AI is how these big multimedia companies resort to using AI for their ads and videos, and I always feel angry about how they’re able to pay for real actors and real artists, but decide not to. Because, trust me, I WANT to be able to give people money to create my things for me, but I work 2 jobs to be able to live and feed myself (3 if we include YouTube, which I don’t really consider it a job).
