    As opposed to pretty much every meme out there where you just type some text in the template? I’ve never seen a single person make this sort of critique of regular memes. But apparently if AI is used to make a meme now we have to have this discussion of how much sweat and blood was put into it.

      You’re choosing to misinterpret what I said entirely, I did not say that every human made meme is high effort.

      But for a human artist to make an equivalent piece of artwork to what you’ve produced with A.I here, that takes a lot more time and effort, which by itself makes it funnier due to the absurd and amusing meta narrative of someone painstakingly recreating Samuel L Jackson’s image by hand just for a joke.

      And I can tell you with certainty that when people make memes that obviously have more effort put into them, it does go noticed and it does add to the humor. Humor is subjective, sure, but there is a reason why “High quality Shitpost” as a term exists. Don’t act like this is only something new being used to stigmatize A.I.

      I know I can’t convince you, but I do hope you at least ponder over the idea.

        What I actually said was that nobody has ever complained that memes take little effort to make, so I don’t understand your argument regarding AI generated memes given that. Are you complaining that the AI produced meme looks too good for the amount of effort that went into it, what is exactly the problem here?

        I genuinely don’t understand the point you’re making beyond the fact that you appear to think that something has to be hard to make in order to look good, and if it was easy to make that cheapens it in some way.
