AI generated art vs "supporting local artists"?

   To answer your question about the big deal about using AI. There is concern that AI is going to take the jobs away from living breathing artists. Since AI learns from digging through internet data, a lot of artists who post their art for sale online have been having their art copied. Unfortunately, most people just don't have the eye to tell the difference without studying the image unless they are an artist or designer themselves.

   Note: This statement is based on my personal experience. When faced with two images or videos the people in the group that were artists/designers/videographers etc could always tell if the image or video was real or AI instantly and it would take everyone else longer to see it and usually they couldn't see it without help.

   To comment on the situation as a whole. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with using AI as a tool in art. Things like expanding the background, erasing the background or objects in a photo in Photoshop are done all the time and can be done using AI.

   Your son in law gave you a short timeframe to create something that isn't in your normal style and I'm guessing you were doing it for free (again). I'm also guessing that if he had told you that you couldn't use AI you would have either told him you couldn't do that exact style or you would have told him it would take more time. I'm making some assumptions here of course, but in general I think the conversation would have gone differently if you had all of the information.

   To an extent I think this is a lesson learned for your son in law. He needs to be more specific about what he wants/needs, and he needs to give you enough time to achieve that. It was his job, as the client, to tell you that you cannot use AI because he is the one who is involved in the music scene.

   I'd sit down with him and maybe your daughter in front of the computer and ask him which parts he wants you to change. If he says everything AI, remove that layer or layers out of your image. If he asks you to draw the illustration, tell him that you do not have enough time since it is outside of your style and you would hate to attempt something like that on such an important project. Point out the items that you did do any give an option of what the image could look like without the AI. If he doesn't like it, be strong enough to tell him and your daughter that he is going to need to find someone else to do this design for him. If you know someone who can do the illustration, point him to them.

   It's a tricky situation, but one that can hopefully be easily sorted out. Good luck! :)

   Totally agree that creating a cozy, inspiring home space can change your whole mood. I used to underestimate how much art on the walls can affect your vibe until I found a few canvas pieces that actually feel like me. I ended up getting mine from canvas wall art https://klinecollective.com/collections/canvas-paintings (they’ve got some surprisingly unique stuff, not the typical mass-produced prints). It made such a difference — the colors, the texture, the energy. Now my living room finally feels like a place I actually want to spend time in.
