Leigha is one of my favorite artists. I own a painting of hers, a self-portrait, and it's one of theĀ pieces that is most meaningful toĀ me. She inspires me. Her work inspires me. Check her out.

Iām drawn to the Lex Marieās bold use of color and deep exploration of identity and memory. My favorites are her flag pieces.Ā

for overall artists, i really enjoy the body of work by photographer renĆ©e cox. i love her takes on representation and her unapologetic nature. i wasnāt much of a photography girl before her, but i get it now. i also really enjoy the paintings of oda iselin sĆønderland and the mood sheās able to capture with them. and i canāt forget the works of aya takano! i love the world sheās crafted and the figures that come out of it. she reminds me that iām a woman but also still a girl if that makes sense.
for favorite contemporary works of art in general, thatās even harder as i have so many! for now, iāll choose kiki smithās 1996 piece āconstellationā (pictured here). but i could go on forever.

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and thatās the beauty of it all.
