Yeah, there are bigger problems. But this is the one that always gets to me.

I'd rather have a crude, worse-than-MS-paint photoshop meme than some AI generated nonsense.

At the very least, the crude 'shop one had some effort put into it. And as someone who crudely shops things for the lulz, there's a point about 2/3 through where it starts to take shape and you can be like "you know, this is stupid" and abandon it. With AI generated ones, it's just type, copy, paste, spam with no reflection point (I mean, you could choose not to post what was output, but most people just click "send").

That's not even touching on how AI generated images just look wrong. To me, they're just unsettling and deeply in uncanny valley.
