Should I use AI or Hand Illustrated?

While I have definitely utilized AI tools like Midjourney to create graphics, at the end of the day, I still prefer old-fashioned, hand-illustrated art. AI art, for now, still has a certain unnatural look and is often unusually full of errors (try generating an octopus) that can’t beat the authenticity of hand-drawn pieces. That said, I still think it’s a great tool for creating reference images, working out composition, and even exploring colors. So, for this artist, nothing beats handmade!
