I’m with you on the hope that Substack will ban or somehow flag content created by AI. I avoid or unsubscribe from folks who use it, even just to create illustrations.
Thanks, Tom. Agreed. I admit to using AI for some of the early illustrations I was creating but I did so with the intent of using for them as collage elements. I've since changed practices and now I only use my own photographs and open source / public domain images plus my own drawing and illustration in the images.
Once again, thought provoking, beautiful writing. Also the inclusion of Margaret Atwood's poem -- now there's some writing based in lyrics and truth. It was new to me and already I've read it twice and will return to it again, unusual in my poem-reading ways.

That’s exactly my practice on images as well, thinking it’s better to have an okay human-created image than a perfect AI one.

Thank you. I'm going to include more poetry moving forward. It's sometimes a faster way to get to the heart -- and the heart of the idea.
