 ## 2022-09-30 -- Artists Weren't Happy When Photography Was Invented, Too
@@ -46,3 +50,17 @@ And now there is AI that allows me to create good art of my random ideas. It's a
 On the flip side, with ideas that proved to be good such as the fox-corvid-gryphon, I am now considering creating more art of it with my own abilities and maybe commission someone if there ever is a chance. So if anything, AI has *increased* my willingness to buy commissions.
 
 This whole situation is strikingly similar to the music/video/gaming industry, piracy and the concept of "lost sales". Food for thought.

+### Update 1
+
+One more thing I got to experience when commissioning an artist: getting pushed back in the queue. 2 months turned into 2 years, and the sad thing is others have made even worse experiences (not necessarily with the same artist).
+
+There were probably things happening in the artist's life, or they possibly ran out of motivation which is something I can strongly relate to, or maybe they just suck at time management. I don't know. But it's undeniable that all these conditions are barriers.

+## 2022-11-14 -- AI is a Tool, not an Artist
+
+The mistake a lot of people make in this debate is that they're giving the AI the role of an artist rather than a tool. Stable Diffusion only works in conjunction with a human who operates it, and ultimately it is the human who decides which concepts to use and how via a prompt or more advanced techniques. It is still the human who brings in the "beyond" you were talking about.
+It would be strange to apply standards of creativity to a pen or Photoshop, wouldn't it?
+
+Like any tool, AI can be used and abused. I can take Photoshop and plagiarize an existing work, and I can take an AI and plagiarize existing work.
+In fact, people had the same concerns with the rise of digital art and later Photoshop because they made creating art so much easier. Yet here we are, digital art is common and Photoshop is an integral part of many artist's workflow. This is just another round of the same old debate.
