Since IH was given a name over 60 years ago by Bedrich Roth it has not been given much thought in the scientific community, or in the medical field in general. Most doctor's don't know about it, and those who do also hold a lot of misinformation in their heads. To find a doctor who not only Understands IH, but also the patient variety is like trying to find a fresh apple from a garbage heap.

So no wonder we lack representation - especially when most of us have barely enough energy to do basic life things, which then turns into a cycle of desperation, and often also seeps into depression. Most of us do still yearn to see IH in our social media's, and find places where we feel we aren't alone.

I mean, that is why I started this comic. I wanted to not only vent, but also to reach out and yell into the void "I am here - and you aren't alone with this!"

So after doing this for, what? 5 years? It is beyond disheartening to see that few creative people who have IH are being drowned in AI slop by enthusiastic sloppists who now claim to be artists even though their "ability" to make art is entirely tied to their AI bot, internet connection, and electricity. Once those (or often just one) is gone - there is no more slop "art" to be shared.

That is not a skill. That is a commission from a bot that eats your metaphorical a** and makes you feel good to a point that you become delusional and think you are an artist because you asked to have a picture of a sleeping person.

Mind you - not a REAL sleeping person. Not YOU as a sleeping person. Not a person with IH at all. There is no feeling, no substace. Just stolen images slapped together. Art has intention, and a PROCESS that it integral to being an artist.

It is so beyond not fun to see these AI slop pictures take over the IH groups in META. It is insulting to us who try to spread awareness, and do art about IH.

Call it out when you see it, please.
Fight for real art.
