Responding to the question "why do you still draw if AI can do it for you?", Sarah Drasner offers an analogy: it's like asking why anyone still builds their own PC when prebuilt machines exist.
Her answer: some things we do for fun, creative outlets, and flow state. AI is there to make life easier, not to replace the joy of the process — a sentiment that resonated widely among creators.
