    I still think that “traditional” shitposting has a creative process to it.

      Traditional:

      1. Think of shitpost

      2. Photoshop shitpost

      3. Profit

      With AI:

      1. Think of shitpost

      2. Generate shitpost image

      3. Profit

        Why not cut the middle man and just post the prompt?

          A man with an exaggerated laughing-crying emoji pasted over his head, a bunch of 👌’s pasted everywhere, and then deepfried

          I don’t want to go through a middle man so please make that in photoshop, and then look at it

          Wow, yeah, not doing any work whatsoever is so much better, i’m sure that’ll take off

            About as much creativity on display as feeding the prompt to an AI. Be cynical as much as you want: even shitpost enjoyers get bored if you’re not creative.

              That’s why i’m not making shitposts

              Aren’t you being cynical, that people aren’t capable of a shred of creativity if they use AI to make posts?

              If i had made my idea above and posted it, it would (and should) get downvoted and fade away into obscurity, regardless of whether i used AI or photoshop to make it

                I’ve yet to see an AI generated meme that had any creative merit bigger than what I described. Just look at the original post! That’s exactly what I’m talking about.

                People think of something that could be funny, if they did the legwork and put some creative effort into it. But then, they simply ask the AI to do the hard part and post it.
