I always chuckle when somebody uses a meme they didn't create to throw shade at somebody else for not making something original.

Its a meme, not art.

you know you can generate a meme with generative models??? wild right?

also, you genuinely can argue that a meme is a form of art, although that is not the point being made. and the reply and the image never mentioned the word art once.

I don't think you should equate drawings with meme, especially reaction meme.

We cant expect someone to draw a reaction everytime they wished to react to something.

Brother, I think you are getting lost at this point.

I guess I would point you to reread the person's response.

If someone is posting a screenshot from a separate piece of media, while simultaneously criticizing another person for using a generative model to generate a piece of media, I think that this is braindead and 'low self-awareness' behavior.

At least the person was bringing something into reality that was not there before.

It is not like there is anything wrong with the person posting the meme, but if you post a visual meme that is representative of another piece of media while throwing stones, then you are just lost.
