In Round 7, I Want Till To Be More Energetic Than Ever, So Much That He's In Hysteria. He Should Give

he desperately wanted kenny to hug him even though he hates him even though his clothes are filthy and he smells gross and he merely treats him like a person, levi still wanted to feel warm in someone's arm again like he did when kuchel hold him; he knew it won't be the same but he still wanted and waited, his arms itched his body felt cold and he kept waiting but for a very, very long time, no one touched him like his mother did. his hair got long and he considered going to a barber to feel someone's touch even at the tip of his hair. at some nights he felt his mother's lingering touch on himself and tried to remember how it felt to be touched without feeling threatened, when his hands are covered with blood he tried to remember how the same blood makes people warm in their veins and how it felt to be touched, touched, touched

touch starved

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.
