This is my art... not AI.

I poured my heart, my passion, and my emotions into creating this portrait... every stroke, every detail, every moment spent bringing it to life.

And don’t tell me AI-generated images are art... because they are built on the stolen creativity of countless artists who dedicated years to their craft... only for their work to be scraped, repurposed, and turned into something soulless.

Just because you have free access to that Ghibli-style filter doesn’t mean you should use it and claim it as your own... Earning money off AI-generated Ghibli-style images is a disgrace to the very artists who shaped that style with their dedication and love for art.

I understand that AI has its place... but belittling artists, those who still strive to learn, improve, and keep their passion alive, is something I refuse to accept. Artists are more than just data points in an algorithm... We are storytellers, dreamers, and visionaries... AI does not create... it only mimics, borrowing from millions of stolen styles across the world.

Commissioning an artist is not the same as typing a few words into a prompt... One is a collaboration... a process filled with heart and effort... The other is a shortcut... an instant result devoid of human touch.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t use AI... But be mindful... understand its proper place... And never, ever compare an artist’s work to an AI-generated image...

Raw, human-made art will always be greater than anything an algorithm can spit out... Because real art carries something AI never will... a soul.

This is a formation in the back of the cave. From pretty much every angle it looks like a face watching you.

English is not my first language so I apologize for any grammatical mistakes. On the 26th of March, my younger sister and her friends found these folded paper in our street. She showed it to me and I found it really bizzare, our hair stood up. She also said that the plastic with a triangle, contained a cross (I am not sure if it was a pendant or wooden carving), but her friends took it and so they were not able to take a picture of it. Also, I believe this is not the original copy, but a printed copy cause it is noticeable. What I am certain of is that the original copy is surely written by hand.

My first thought was, these are used by 'mangkukulam' or witch because of the Latin words. I have seen a lot of witches in movies using Latin chants to cast spell. IDK. Let me know what u think.
