No, let's leave the lazy ai political memes to the Republicans
I think this is a bit different. We aren't making ridiculous claims. It's just a normal meme made with a different tool.
I agree that this kind of lazy meme content is what image generators should be used for. However, the issue is not the tool, but the materials that it's made from. By using these generators created from morally and ethically dubious source material, we help corporations profit off of work that isn't theirs.
You mean they didn't pay Getty for their entire library?
I agree the corporations aren't ethical. But neither are the corporations they scraped it from.
