I used generative AI...

Okay, so. First of all, I want to clarify and say that I am not against Al illustrations or writing or coding with Al. I just don't believe you should call it 'art'. Anyway, I've been drawing on something for ten hours straight, but I just couldn't get the face. So I placed my drawing on Gemini and asked it to fix it... Of course now the drawing was messy and all the line were messed up, so I didn't used it. But.. I did retrace the eyes and their location on the face of my character.. and now my drawing is done. And I'm not sure if I just ruined my drawing or if I can just consider what I did just like a tool. I know it might sound stupid, but for someone who barely uses Al, especially for illustration purposes, I feel extremely guilty and I'm starting to wonder if I can still call myself an artist because I just couldn't help myself to ask for help by an Al and not a human being..

Here's the drawing:
