The rapid AI developments still give me mixed feelings of excitement and disappointment.

Excitement because I'm a graphics and technology lover, disappointment because AI-generated stuff doesn't give me the positive feeling I get when seeing something that was actually crafted by a person.

The same goes for using AI tools myself: I quickly get bored, because there's no challenge. It feels like performing a glorified Google image search, instead of challenging yourself with a creative project, conceiving creation methods, falling, getting up again, and finally getting the satisfaction of something you have carefully crafted with emotional involvement.
