I think I see where you're coming from but, from personal experience, AI has not much to do with one's interest in learning how to paint or draw. I've picked up drawing again this year not only as a passion but it's something I can create with my own hands. It doesn't matter that AI can do it and can do it much better, it's that I can do it. For fun, for relaxing, for meditating, ...

  Why not? If one of your goals is to try to relax and/or meditate more, then I feel it’s a valid list entry. It’s all a matter of perspective and personal goals, no?

    Because if you read the conclusion, they say that having this list gives them more pressure.

      You have missed a good opportunity to be curious, rather than judgmental. Mind the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Sometimes, it takes some effort to get to the rewarding part of an activity. A little pressure is not bad when it's helping you reach your goals. Millions of people force themselves to go to the gym. People enjoy making things with their hands. They love conveying their emotions and adding their flair. If the masters did not deter people from picking up a paintbrush, why would AI slop?

  In today's day and age I definitely would. That's my perspective though and we don't have to have the same expectations from the tada list. "Today I meditated through drawing" is an accomplishment to me worth my personal tada list. Might not be for everyone though, I can understand that. Someone else was making a good point that a daily tada list might be unnecessary pressure and a weekly one feels more balanced. To add more color though, I personally would expect this to compound into an overall tada list similar to OP. At the end of the year I could amount to a lot of drawings and notice improvements over time. But again, AI has nothing to do with it. If we give up on personal accomplishments because "AI can do it" we would go nowhere. But that's my 2c.
