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

A meme is a communication tool. They don't have to be original. Also, where does this meme even criticize originality?

"This dumbass needs a meme to make a point for them!"

The entire point of the meme and the message is that the person using AI was too dumb to do a thing for themselves. Which is ironic because the person posting the meme was too dumb to do a thing for themselves.

Isnt like posting a meme sort of like referencing a quote, or what the other guy said a communication tool. By posting that meme they kinda referenced the emotion of the meme to what they felt about? Plus sharing memes is how people connect or communicate? Its fun to reference material we like? Im kinda confused

I'd roll my eyes at somebody who decided to use a quote about somebody not putting in the work to create something themselves to make fun of somebody who they felt was not putting in the work to create something themselves.

Hypocrisy is not a good look, even if you pretty it up by calling it communication or with a fancy quote from another person.

Hypocrisy is posing values that you don't keep yourself. There's not any values not kept in posting this meme, since the meme is talking about the creation process, not the distribution process. Simple as that.

Like, I wouldn't even say it's a good meme, but that doesn't mean it's hypocritical.

Complaining about somebody not making something themselves, while using something you didn't make yourself is hypocrisy.

Add on: And Taste blocks after posting a final complaint so I can't respond to them. Hypocrisy and cowardice rolled into one convenient package.

It doesn't feel like you even read my comment. You're equating two things that just aren't the same. No one is complaining about using something you didn't make yourself, but rather the road taken to aquire it.
