I’d go as far as argue memes may be the most legitimate use of all for imageGen AI. A meme is literally a quick throw away idea that’s meant to agitate. It doesn’t need to be a beautiful piece of art, or have any sophistication. It’s just a quick way to get the message across. And you often want to make it quick in response to some world event. What Iran did with Lego videos also perfectly illustrates just how effective this can be. While western left keeps doing hand wringing over AI use, people living in countries being attacked by western regimes are using this tech to get their message out.
Libs just love doing performative outrage in general. They really see leaving ‘it’s slop’ comments on every thread as they sacred duty, it really makes them feel like they’re making a difference in the world. It’s basically a form of voting which is the only way they know how to participate in a society.
I doubt there are similar memes out there.
I tend to treat AI stuff as bad jokes, there better be a good point and it better be punching up.
I think the beauty of capitalist propaganda is that it says any fault of capitalism is the fault of the individual cause personal responsibility.
Also I’ve heard from people (western) that it was good India was colonised cause it at least brought capitalism there.

Exactly punching up is a big factor. And fr never seem more legitimate use of it

Always the aesthetics of civility but never civil.
