      Pay for what? Image generation is free (but usually limited) many places, and you can also run it for “free” (ignoring the negligible electricity cost) on your home computer if you want to

        Pay for the image generation? (Like you said it’s limited and not free).

        free" (ignoring the negligible electricity cost) on your home computer if you want to

        Stable diffusion is alright, but it’s not very accessible, you can literally put stuff together in paint.

        But this AI slop has recently started getting more prevalent (after the scam altman Ghibli trend shit) and this is most definitely the chatgpt AI slop.

        I just don’t want to support those corporate pieces of shit anymore than I have to.

          I said it is free many places, but typically not fully featured or with a limited number of daily generations. They loose money if you use these free options so shouldn’t you be advocating for their use?
          There’s also free tools that makes it easy to run it locally

          Yes AI slop is getting more prevalent, so what? If someone can either create a meme in a minute using AI, or spend fifteen minutes making the same thing in paint, why do you think you can come and demand that they waste their time to do it the slow way?

          Edit: you haven’t posted a single meme on that account, open paint and be a good role model
