I'm deeply concerned about the rush to so-called "AI" and the use of synthetic text in all aspects of life, particularly when it substitutes for productive labor in policy generation and implementation.

Meme generation is not the same. Stock images are already trash, designed for bulk distribution as filler. If a machine can output an image that's equally functional, no artist is deprived of the opportunity to create something meaningful, no onlooker is deceived into believing that a human mind orchestrated this camera angle or that brush stroke.

I'm asking you again: why use up the resources for a synthetic image if it upsets people and the expected quality is so low for memes, anyway?

Why synthesize a fucking Wojak template?
