This week, I spoke with artist Vanllem. I first met her at Montreal ComicCon and was immediately impressed by her fan-art of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast, among other incredible pieces she's created. Vanllem recently started a YouTube channel dedicated to art and the artist's life. She covers everything from the creative process to self-promotion, selling her work, and tabling at conventions.
While I appreciate the potential of A.I., it's important to acknowledge its problematic origins. Discussing the subject with Vanllem not only highlights valid reasons for caution but also points to future trends and reminds me of the city of Troy. They saw a gift outside their doors, then woke up to their world in ruin. Beware of Geeks bearing gifts..
