A little advice from Guardian columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith, to an artist feeling the pressures of AI and social media.

With the advance of AI, I feel my work as an artist is no longer respected. Should I just give up?

“Should I keep making art?” Even though it might not make money? Even though the algorithm might not value it? Even though all around me the slop marches on, I feel a growing carelessness in the culture, an indifference to craft – should I keep making art? To that, you might well answer: why would I stop?”

What she said.
