Is using AI a legitimate artistic tool for bringing my vision to life, or is it just the easy way out- a cop-out that I will later regret? This question has been on my mind and will likely continue to plague me in the coming years. I have started using AI in my creative process, specifically for my art piece that looks like a book, Noa’s Painted Rainbow, where I utilized it to create the cover illustration.

An old photograph recently brought me back in time. It was a picture of me in 1980, dressed in my ballet leotard. Looking at it, I was hit by a sudden, intense flash of emotion and nostalgia, transporting me instantly back to that time and place. Suddenly, I remembered my beloved Grandpa Bunny book, and I could vividly recall the awe and reverence with which I used to turn every single page.
