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.
My main contention is that AI art looks bad. I can walk you through why it looks bad if you want. But if you’re more concerned about making quick, bad-looking art for agiprop then I’m not gonna change your mind. And that’s fine.
And listen, I’m calling it bad art because these images are bad art. Art, especially produced in a specific style like the meme you posted, actually does have to follow some rules. If it doesn’t, or doesn’t circumvent those rules in a way that communicates intentionality, then it’s just not that good. Calling these images bad art isn’t a critique of you as a person. It’s a critique of the quality of art you’ve presented.
I’m going to kindly ask you to treat the quality of AI art with seriousness and not use the excuses like “it’s just a meme.” I come at this issue with the perspective of not only being an artist but an art educator as well. I don’t mean to presume, but from reading your comments on the matter I don’t get the impression that you’ve spoken to that many artists about their perspective on AI art. I’d be happy to discuss it with you though! Honestly I think a more art education would only serve to elevate your posts.
