Who cares? Memes have always been low effort. AI just makes low effort look prettier.
There's a place to be concerned about AI replacing human effort, but memes is not really that place
IMHO, AI generated images remove the creativity of memes.
Chosing a template, or creating a new one is not the highest effort, but still more of it than creating an AI prompt.
Imagine all these posters of AI images posting nothing but the prompt they made up, instead of the images (since that's where their creative process ended). Pretty lame, huh?
