    What kind of logic is that? The tool exists and it takes 30 seconds to achieve a comparable result to what would’ve taken 10-30 minutes doing manually depending on user’s skills. Is it only ok to use image generation for hard-to-do stuff?

      10-30 mins to draw a single-panel polandball comic? Really?

      But really, the difficulty of a given artistic process is immaterial. It’s more a question of if someone can’t be arsed to create their own work, why would they assume that anybody else should care to look at it?

        Yes, really. And I actually think I was quite conservative with time requirements.

        And why can’t you only judge the idea/joke aspect of the work? Sure, the execution didn’t require much effort, but the point was to convert the idea/joke.

        Are holodeck programs in StarTrek automatically worthless because to create them people merely instruct the Computer what and where to put?

          Ideally, social media is about human expression. If somebody outsources their expression to a machine, they shouldn’t be surprised when people react negatively to such meaningless slop filling their feeds.
