Gosh, it’s so difficult to decide! It’s true that Instagram is a GREAT tool but this AI stuff really upsets me. It’s hard to leave, I’ve done it and went back. It’s hard to stay now too. I do appreciate your essays on Instagram though! You are always so knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you!

It is an incredibly difficult thing to navigate. And it is insidiously happening everywhere. Just this week I also saw content creators sharing that Adobe has updated their terms and conditions so that not only can you not use their services without agreeing to machine learning using your creations, but the new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content they produce using the software. Absolutely nuts.

Affinity is the one I’ve seen most mentioned. But yeah, the cornered market is challenging

Thanks for all of the great info. I’m not sure what this means for us in the future! My being a painter, I worry about sharing my work all the time.
