I don’t have a problem with the preference for human art and the shunning of generated images as like just a taste thing or whatever, but I can’t understand the originality/creativity/effort argument when meme templates are acceptable. Presumably a human came up with the idea to willfully misinterpret the quote as a joke, and I don’t understand why it matters whether they stick their idea onto an image they stole from someone vs an image a computer program stole for them.
