Because it’s inherently low art, by which I mean the ideas communicated are barely above a snip of text. That’s not a bad thing, but it means a machine processing prompts can, with adequate discernment, produce an adequate output. It’s not short circuiting a creative human process, it’s helping you make slightly better stick figure drawings.

So why not use a graphics program and stock images? The above example already had a template which was put through a synthetic image generator. Hell, I saw this exact meme in the wojak format.
It’s not short circuiting a creative human process, it’s helping you make slightly better stick figure drawings.
Why would I want that if stick figures would suffice? Many people don’t want to engage with synthetic text on meme communities. Why do you want to be complicit in so-called “AI” so badly?
Memes are low effort. Its so everyone can make them. The accessibility that allows all kinds of people to make memes makes memes relatable.
An example of the opposite would be fiction books. 99% of fictional characters in books hate math and love language. That’s what creation being inaccessible does to a medium. It twists it into something not relatable.
