AI slop

Just stop it. Spotting these is getting harder and it's not a useful skill to practice.

Memes seems like an appropriate use case for AI image generation.

Memes are low effort. Its so everyone can make them. The accessibility that allows all kinds of people to make memes makes memes relatable.

An example of the opposite would be fiction books. 99% of fictional characters in books hate math and love language. That's what creation being inaccessible does to a medium. It twists it into something not relatable.
