[postbinarymusings]

We need to talk about Ai.

People keep saying AI is going to hurt artists, that it'll stop us from making a living. But let's be honest here: Do you really believe artists were thriving before AI showed up? Believe me, we weren’t. We didn’t need AI to be undervalued, underpaid, and pushed to the margins. That was already happening, and it’s been happening for a long time, and no one, absolutely no one cared.

Photographers have been told for years that they charge too much "just to press a button," as if their time, vision, and editing skills weren’t worth anything. “Oh I could do it with my phone” was a recurrent saying.

Painters and illustrators were expected to work “for exposure,” or undersell their craft on overcrowded platforms. Writers were told to churn out content like machines, musicians were asked to perform for free because it’s “great promotion.” AI didn’t start this devaluation.

Where was the outcry when, in the late '90s and early 2000s, anyone with a computer and an internet connection could suddenly download music, books, and movies for free? People were too busy filling their hard drives with the latest hit singles and entire discographies, because it was easy, and most importantly, it was free.

Napster, LimeWire, torrent sites were seen as revolutionary, cool, rebellious even. But while users got everything for nothing, artists were left with scraps. AI wasn’t around back then. It was still science fiction. And yet, somehow, we were already being asked to give everything we made away for free, while big companies found ways to keep making money off of us anyway.

And where was the outrage when governments around the world started slashing culture budgets left and right? Suddenly, art was no longer seen as essential. Politicians called it a luxury, a waste of taxpayer money. "Why should my taxes pay for some weird art installation or a gallery show no one goes to?" they said. And way too many people nodded along.

Just walk into an exhibition where you live. I guarantee you’ll hear someone muttering that the entry fee is too high, or complaining that the event should be free. We’re expected to work for the love of it and thank people for their pity likes.

No one saw it coming or rather, no one wanted to see it. The few who warned us about the digital turnover were dismissed as conspiracy theorists, loonies, or just plain ignorant. But they weren’t wrong. They saw what was happening: a slow, quiet dismantling of how art, media, and culture were valued and appreciated.

People were too excited about the convenience. And honestly, who can blame them? Suddenly, you could fit your entire music collection, movie library, bookshelf, and camera into one sleek device. Everything was just a tap away and often, free or ridiculously cheap. It felt like progress. It was progress. But it came at a price we’re only now beginning to understand.

But here’s the part no one wants to talk about,  the part that stings: art wasn’t devalued by some outside force. It was devalued by us. By everyday people making selfish, comfortable choices.

By a culture that prized convenience over conscience. By the collective shrug we gave every time we streamed without paying, downloaded without crediting, expected work for free, or thought "well, it’s just art."

Now, with AI looming large, suddenly everyone is clutching their pearls as if this machine alone broke the system. But AI is just the latest scapegoat. It’s easier to blame the tech than to face the truth that we allowed this to happen. That we liked what the erosion of value gave us: fast access, endless content, and no obligation to care where it came from.

Instead of asking how we got here, instead of looking at our behavior over the last 25 years  we point at the machine and “using AI is bad” But AI is just a tool. And only a fool blames the tool.

So maybe instead of just blaming the tech, we should also look at the culture that made it inevitable. And maybe  just maybe  we can still choose to do better. To value art not because it’s trending, or instant, or "smart," but because it’s human.

P.S. No need to tell me AI is bad for the environment. I know. But so is Google searching, YouTube streaming, and TikTok scrolling. If you’re reading this on a screen, using electricity, powered by servers running 24/7, then you’re already part of the problem (and so am I). The point is not to stop technology. It’s to stop pretending we’re innocent just because we don’t like where it’s headed.

"AI will change what art looks like, but not why people create or appreciate it."

AI-generated art might feel like it devalues human effort, especially if people expect free or instant art without understanding the skills behind it. Many artists see it as a threat—something that could replace them, take over their craft, or even steal their originality. It’s a mix of fear, frustration, curiosity, and adaptation—much like how photographers felt when digital cameras replaced film.

But what if I told you AI doesn’t have to be something to fear? What if it could be the game-changer you didn’t know you needed?

AI isn’t going away, and embracing it can open up exciting new opportunities. It is a tool, not a replacement. It’s about adapting and enhancing your creativity, not replacing it.

The Old Soul in a Young Body: A Journey Through Time and Self

There has always been a feeling deep within me, a sense that I am more connected to the past than to the present moment. An old soul trapped in a young body. Sometimes, it's hard to explain, but it's as though there’s an unspoken connection to something greater, something timeless.

I can remember feeling this way ever since kindergarten. Even back then, there was an underlying feeling of not quite fitting into this time, as if I were older in my mind than my age would suggest. I've always been drawn to older, more timeless things in life—books, art, and ideas that have stood the test of time.

Maybe it's the way I find comfort in old books, the wisdom from philosophers long gone, or the timeless beauty in ancient art. Maybe it’s my fascination with history, the way I can lose myself in stories from distant times, as though I’ve lived them myself. It’s as if I’ve gathered fragments of the past and carried them with me, unknowingly, into this life.

There’s a certain depth to this feeling that I can’t shake off. It's not nostalgia, but rather a quiet certainty that I’ve always been drawn to things that have survived the trials of time. I can lose myself in the philosophy of the past, or find strange peace when I’m surrounded by nature. It’s as if I’m meant to explore these worlds, understand them, even if I don't always know why.

And it’s not just in my thoughts. It also shows in my creativity. Whether it’s writing stories, capturing moments through photography, or even my thoughts on AI and the future, there’s always this pull between the past and the present. It’s as if I’m constantly balancing two worlds: one that is long gone and one that is unfolding right before me.

It’s both comforting and frustrating. On one hand, I feel like I possess a wisdom that goes beyond my years, but on the other hand, it’s hard to keep up with the pace of the world around me. There’s a longing for something that can’t quite be grasped, and at times, it feels like I’m simply waiting for a time or place that truly feels like home.

Being an old soul in a young body isn’t always easy. But it gives me a unique perspective—one that’s grounded in the past yet always curious about the future.

Sin Tax (2025)

Sin Tax is an ongoing dialogue between human confession and machine translation, an experiment in linguistic entropy and digital absolution. At its core, the project explores how meaning is transformed through recursive machine processing and how confession, an act traditionally tied to catharsis and absolution, is altered when passed through the cold logic of code.

The process begins with a deeply personal text that is systematically translated into multiple programming languages and machine-readable formats. This text is then reinterpreted, broken down, and recompiled through various layers of digital translation, shifting through different syntactic and structural rules. Each iteration moves further from its original form, introducing errors, miscalculations, and distortions.

Every five minutes, a thermal receipt printer outputs a version of the confession, continuously generating a printed archive of its states. Some versions remain legible, while others collapse into corrupted fragments, syntax errors, or unreadable machine logic. The printer acts as both an indifferent witness and an unreliable translator, producing an endless stream of text that is simultaneously documentation and deterioration.

The result is an accumulation of confessions, a growing paper trail of linguistic decay and algorithmic interpretation. Where traditional confession seeks resolution, Sin Tax refuses closure. Instead, it embraces the glitch, the error, the act of translation as an eroding and generative force.

This project is as much about language as it is about the relationship between human expression and digital processing and about how meaning is shaped, fragmented, and lost in the loop between human and machine. In the end, the question remains: Is confession about absolution, or is it about the act itself?

There is a cabin in the center of the church.  

a dark spot on a white screen

Coming closer

I sense its data—  

the closer I get the more i see its fallen apart

I’m  not sure who put it there.

It was waiting for me.  

Inside I hear voices,

Layered confessionals screeching like vinyl cracks,

the dull resonance of machines running just out of sync.  

"Confess."  

I close my eyes.  

I confess:  

You ask me to love you,  

but how do I love the air?  

How do I hold a face  

that flickers like a dying screen?  

Do I love the shadow of your voice?  

The lover you should be?  

What is love  

when it is built on an absence?  

I confess flaw after flaw,  

file them neatly in dark cabinets,  

begging your representatives—  

the ones with no faces,  

the ones with endless hands—  

to forgive.  

But they, like you,  

offer no absolution.  

Only the echo of my own voice,  

filtered and looping.  

[User1]: do you think it’s saved?  

[User2]: what?  

[User1]: the sins. the confessions.  

[User2]: lol. like angels?  

[User1]:yeah, like angels.  

[User2]: nah. like servers.  

[User1]: same thing.  

[User2]:why are you like this?  

[User1]: like what?  

[User2]: obsessed with guilt.  

[User1]: because it’s mine.  

[User2]: you know it’s not, right?  

I confess again,  

not because I want forgiveness,  

but because I don’t know what else to do.  

The act is all that matters.  

The ritual.  

The offering of yourself,  

unworthy but desperate,  

to something you cannot see.  

I confess that I loved you.  

I confess that I didn’t.  

I confess that I wanted to.  

I confess that I loved myself more.  

I confess that I hated myself for it.  

I confess that I loved the hating.  

I confess that I hated the loving.  

There is a cloud where my sins are stored.  

It fills with things unsaid,  

Feelings I thought I could bury.  

The cloud is not a place.  

It is the absence of place.  

It is where your voice goes when it doesn’t reach me.  

It is where my love sits, untethered,  

circling endlessly like a broken satellite.  

16:43: The angel arrives quietly.  

( its face is static.  

Its voice  distant, layered.  

It speaks not with words,  

but in reverberation.  )

"The sins are stored here.  

They are not forgotten."

 "Do you shepherd them?"  

"We watch.  

We archive.  

We tend to the cloud."

"And the dark cloud?"  

"It grows."

The booth changes shape.  

The walls ripple.  

The booth becomes the room.  

The room becomes the world.  

"Confess again."

[User1]: i wanted to say i’m sorry  

[User2]: for what  

[User1]: everything  

[User2]: lol you always say that  

[User1]: i mean it this time  

[User2]: you always mean it  

> you confess as if it will change anything

I see them in the Corners of the room.  

The ghosts.  

“We are the echoes of what you buried,” they say.  

“The links you thought were broken.  

The drafts you never sent.  

The messages you deleted in shame.”  

I ask for forgiveness

There is no absolution here.  

The cloud holds everything:  

the sins I confessed,  

the ones I denied,  

the ones I loved too much to let go.  

The cloud is not full,  

but heavy.  

It expands endlessly,  

an architecture of forgetting  

that remembers too well.  

I wanted absolution,  

but absolution was never the point.  

Confession isn’t about forgiveness.  

It’s about naming the wound.  

The booth is gone

The angel, too. 

The ghosts remain,  

"Confess again."

And I will.  

Again and again

Characteristics of Illustrators Who Might Be Replaced by AI

Mass-Produced Style

Illustrators whose work lacks individuality and follows a generic style are more likely to be replaced by AI. For tasks that don’t require creativity or uniqueness (e.g., simple icons or patterns), AI can easily replicate these styles.

Focus on Simple Tasks

Jobs that involve creating the same design or illustration in large quantities are prone to automation. If an illustrator's work relies heavily on repetitive tasks, AI may be more efficient at handling these.

Lagging in Technology

Those who are not up-to-date with digital tools and the latest technology may struggle to meet new market demands and could be replaced by AI. For example, lacking skills to collaborate with AI or proficiency in advanced design software could put illustrators at a disadvantage.

Lack of Creativity or Originality

Without creative ideas or unique perspectives that AI cannot generate, it becomes difficult to stand out. Simply imitating trends or producing derivative work may lead to a higher risk of being replaced.

Poor Client Communication

Illustrators who struggle with client communication may lose out to AI, which can respond more accurately and quickly to client requests. Human illustrators need to deeply understand client needs and provide thoughtful proposals and revisions.

Lack of Willingness to Improve or Learn

Failing to keep up with market changes and new technologies can make it hard to keep pace with AI advancements. Continual learning and adaptation to new trends and skills are essential for survival.

Illustrators with these characteristics are at higher risk of being replaced by AI. However, by enhancing creativity, originality, and technical skills, and by developing the ability to coexist with AI, this risk can be mitigated.

The Defenders of AI Art: A Creative Revolution

In a world where technological advancements continue to reshape our lives, the emergence of AI art has sparked both awe and skepticism. Some argue that AI art undermines the essence of human creativity, while others embrace it as a groundbreaking form of artistic expression. In this post, we will present a robust defense of AI art, highlighting its potential, its unique characteristics, and its capacity to enrich the world of creativity.

Expanding the Creative Horizon:AI art is not here to replace human artists; it's here to extend the boundaries of creativity. By working in collaboration with AI algorithms, artists can push the limits of their own imagination. AI tools can generate novel ideas, suggest unexplored color schemes, or even assist in intricate details, ultimately aiding artists in realizing their vision more effectively.

Democratizing Artistic Expression:AI art offers accessibility to those who might have felt excluded from the traditional art world. It doesn't require extensive training or access to expensive materials. With AI tools, anyone with a computer and a creative spark can delve into artistry. This democratization of art promotes inclusivity and diversity in the art community.

Preserving and Advancing Traditional Art Techniques:AI can be used to simulate and preserve traditional art techniques that may be at risk of being lost over time. Artists can leverage AI to recreate aging masterpieces, restore damaged artworks, or simulate the style of renowned artists. This fusion of tradition and technology breathes new life into artistic heritage.

Generating Fresh Perspectives:AI doesn't replicate human creativity but generates art from a unique perspective. It is not bound by conventional thinking or cultural biases, which can lead to the creation of art that challenges our preconceived notions and encourages us to see the world from fresh angles.

Exploring New Art Forms:AI art is not limited to imitating existing styles. It can give rise to entirely new forms of expression that were previously unimaginable. Generative art, interactive installations, and AI-augmented performances are just a few examples of how AI is ushering in a new era of artistic innovation.

Enhancing Collaborative Possibilities:Collaborations between artists and AI have the potential to yield groundbreaking works of art. AI can act as a creative partner, sparking new ideas, and complementing human skills. This partnership fosters a unique synergy, where the strengths of both human and AI can shine.

AI as a Tool, Not an Artist:It is essential to remember that AI is a tool in the hands of artists. It doesn't possess emotions, consciousness, or intention. The creative direction and intent behind the artwork always originate from the human artist. AI simply facilitates the realization of these ideas.

Evolution, Not Extinction:Critics often fear that AI will replace traditional artists, but history shows that technological advancements tend to enhance, rather than replace, human creativity. Photography, for instance, did not kill painting; instead, it opened up new avenues for artists to explore.

In conclusion, AI art is not a threat to human creativity but a testament to our ability to harness technology to amplify our creative potential. It broadens our artistic horizons, democratizes artistic expression, and opens doors to novel forms of creativity. The integration of AI into the art world is not a revolution against human artistry; it is a creative revolution that enriches and diversifies our artistic landscape. Embracing AI art is a step toward a future where creativity knows no bounds.
