I’ve noticed every chud grifter and politician (same thing, am I right? HAW HAW dad joke owl) seems to use AI art. For memes, for video thumbnails, for their dumb articles that only your 60 year old estranged relative reads, for their shitty Twitter “gotchas”. They love that shit. The uglier the AI generated slop is the better. Why do you think that is? Lack of talent? Hatred of artists? What drives this love of poor quality?
It’s instant gratification from a glorified gacha machine. Since the heart of American reaction is libertine treat lust a magic addictive treatbox that gives them pictures on demand with the cost of a brief delay and a likely need to keep hitting the treat button several times is something they become addicted to and start trying to use for everything.
