[Discussion] Why I use AI: From a jobless person to finding a late-night emotional outlet.
Lately, I’ve been going through a really silent and heavy period in my life. I lost my job, and the current market is incredibly brutal. It brings a lot of daily anxiety, confusion, and a deep sense of isolation. Even though people around me offer words of encouragement, at the end of the day, you're still the one who has to face the quiet battle alone.
During one of those stressful nights, while trying to keep my mind from spinning out of control, I stumbled upon AI music.
I don't have a formal background in music, and I don't play any instruments. But I realized that taste and instinct can be their own kind of creative skill. I started using these tools to pour my bottled-up frustrations and raw emotions into lyrics, shaping a dark, heavy, baritone folk-rock sound that matches what I feel inside.
I know making money from this is unrealistic, and honestly, I don't even care about the views anymore. For me, these tracks have become a personal time capsule. A late-night record that proves I refused to break when things got dark.
I just wanted to share my story and ask this community—what is your personal reason for using AI? Is it just a hobby for you, or has it become a way to cope when the real world gets too heavy?
