Shoutout to the guy who bought my first AI art piece

I posted a weird little AI generated image of a robot in a forest on a local art site last Tuesday, not expecting much. Someone from Portland actually paid $45 for a print of it, which blew my mind. It was just a thing I made for fun after work, messing with prompts for maybe an hour. That small sale made me feel like this whole AI art thing could be a real creative outlet, not just a toy. Has anyone else had a moment where someone taking your AI work seriously changed how you felt about it?

Creative outlet" is a strong term for an hour of messing with prompts.

Totally agree, it feels more like a weird game than actual creative work. Spent a whole afternoon just tweaking words and got nothing to show for it. The whole process is pretty hollow sometimes.

Isn't the whole point for @danielr94 to just have fun with it?
