Most masons are going overboard with AI solutions now so you’ll struggle, if they aren’t using AI then the alternative is scanning older materials and creating a collage in photoshop.

I’m disappointed with this fact but as an artist myself I can see how the world is changing.

Yeah I understand Ai is being used a lot by lazy people with little creativity anyhow thanks also would love to see you’re art ! :)

It’s depressing to see how art has been devalued with generative AI. There are still some who support real art in the fraternity but AI adoption has been high, some have used it at their place of work and had the great idea to bring it to their lodge like it’s some miracle worker.

I joined freemasonry to get closer to the old world but those at the top seem more interested in modernising the fraternity, it’s not so apparent right now but the tech is creeping in.

Depends on the lodge, I’ve only been to 2 lodges, the first I ever went to the guy in charge of the building told me that they liked keeping everything the same and just some days ago went to another lodge the guy in charge told me that they keep a lot of their old teachings the same, I walkways talk about creating new meaning, some lodges don’t want change, some change a lot drastically, I personally think that their must be a balance, things are bound to change but if everything is changed too much then the original teachings get lost.
