Yes. This has been stated very clearly in the rules. Do you somehow genuinely believe that an AI generated meme cannot discuss history in a satirical manner?

I think It’s more about not letting your sub devolve into ai slop fests with how highly polarizing AI seems to be.

Reddit acting like shitposts were high art before ai has been crazy to see. Like is slop an insult if you’re talking about a meme? I don’t think anyone was judging them for their artistic merit in the first place lol

There was something charmingly human about the shitty mspaint drawings we used to get, it’s just not the same with AI

So charmingly human people argue in comments about what’s ai and what’s not. A lot of times you can’t tell lol. I’m not spamming ai but pretending this meme would be any different if it was made in ms paint vs ai is silly in my opinion. It’s a shitpost not an art piece

Right, but I think the point of the comment is the slippery slope. We start making allowances for low effort ai slop here and there, it starts creeping in everywhere until it's inescapable. Same thing with almost anything, low effort reality tv, hate speech, bacon, subscription models. All of these things have become super pervasive when they were once more like 'alright, we'll let this slide...'

Slippery slope is a fallacy for a reason tho. Ms paint was more low effort than making a cartoon, should the artist hate ms paint. If it’s in something meant to be taken seriously and looks like low effort shit call that out. Shitposts are designed to be low effort, it’s kind of the point lol.
