interested in making ai art but my uncle told me not to
I told my uncle that I saw this sub and that it has made me develop in interest in making ai art. He basically said that I'm a dropkick loser and that I can't do anything right. He also said that if I make ai art, that I'm a sad loser who could never make real art so I turn to using robots and shit to help me because I'm just a sad talentless little chud. I don't know, I want to start giving it a try but his words cut deep. It's a shame because I often view my uncle as one of the most respectable people in my life. I don't know if I should cut him off or just not make any ai art. Should I listen to my uncle and just give up on my dreams of being an ai artist, or should I give it a go??? I don't want to ruin any familial bonds...
