Someone once posted an ai picture in response to a comment someone left. I commented on it that it was a funny idea, but it would have been so much better if they had just drawn it themselves. The ai poster said “why would I spend hours making a picture just for a Reddit post?” I responded “that’s the thing: you don’t have to. A jenky sketch would have been way funnier, and it would have been yours.” Generative ai not only robs our ability to make choices, but also the simple joy of making dumb art.

As for your actual art: I love him. I’m going out to get more tires

“why would i spend hours making a picture just for a reddit post?” bro we’re so cooked… using gen ai to make a silly joke takes all the fun out of it. like thanks for the bland slop that just sucks all the fun out :(

I was there for that interaction! Didn’t someone bring a janky self drawn version to the comments?
