You're not making art, you're running prompts through a meme picture generator.

Like I said, you know nothing about making art. (Not a big deal, not everybody needs to.)

In an alternative parallel universe we might have gotten actual AI tools for making art - these would be various infilling plugins, basically. ("Make me a Photoshop brush that paints pine-needle looking spiky things", that sort of thing.)

What we got in this reality is not that, though. Meme making of the sort you posted is not art.

(That said, making memes, especially of the spicy and/or topical kind, is the one niche that generative AI is good at and nails perfectly.)






I mean I did have a meme or two in there to show the range. You clearly didn't look at it if you think it is all memes. Maybe think hard about what art really is.. a brush is a brush..

I don't have to justify my art to anyone. The magic is.. you can't choose what is art. You can choose what YOU think is art and that's fine. However you can't dictate to the world what is art.


I agree you don’t have to justify your art. But which was not a meme? I clicked many and found only memes.

Arguing about what "art" is is a tale as old as time, relax. Your own perspective is not the only valid one that can exist.
