Depending on where you live, some community gathering places offer life drawing classes. One of the leather shops in my city has started doing life drawing classes. Ask around, search around!

I'm in the same boat, in my 20s and just moved to a new place. I was looking on line for drawing groups and I found a figure drawing workshop run by an artist in her home studio. I'm usually a really shy person, but I had a fantastic time because I was surrounded by people who were similar enough to me that we showed up to this workshop.
Figure drawing might not be your thing, but I'm certain there's a group doing a hobby that you like. Try one out and if you don't click with the people try another one.

a lot of local libraries have workshops and classes, find one that seems interesting to you and you'll likely have some things in common with other people going!

Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours?
I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.

My name is Shawna. I responded “oh my god! My name is Shawn, too!” Then stuttered through saying “wait, no, that’s not my name.” and since I was so anxious I just rambled for way to long about the difference between our names.
