I am genuinely trying to get better at art. I'm not there yet (likely never will be), the lying machine is still better than me.

The context:

This is my sketch.

And this is what the ai output.

I like to think I poured my heart and soul into it. I know there are people who will tell me that I'm terrible for using ai at all. I'm also sorry if this is the wrong community to ask this question (ask reddit would delete my post instantly if I tried to post there).

Again, is this slop? I am not an artist. I drive a forklift real good, that's my skillset. So if I were to use the ai upscaled version for my book, well, I'm asking for opinions.

"You should probably get started on that thing soon"

"Yeah, any minute now."

Essentially, title. Is it ok to ask for recommendations here? Looking to buy a scooter, possibly an ebike, and I don't want to accidentally buy a piece of crap.

Previously, I owned a vsett8, which became inoperable and unfixable the first time it was rained on (I don't have it anymore). Before that, a turbowheel lightning, which I loved until it was stolen.

Now though, I'm on a tight budget and everything is more expensive than ever.

Are there reputable 'buyers guides' that this community can recommend? Or maybe you've had good experience with a model/brand/seller?

EDIT: ok, i've got a list to check out. Thank you everyone. Y'all probably won't hear from me again until I've done the research and made a decision. I'll probably make a new post later on detailing what I've found and how I made my decision. Might be a while tho.
