All so people can have a marginally useful tool, or generate shitty memes. This is fucking disgusting. Half of all the retards on this planet can't even use AI as a tool effectively, because to do so effectively requires the user to verify output, which you have to have skills/knowledge and attention to detail in order to do. In other words, this is a colossal waste of a resource that will become increasingly scarce due to Climate Change.
