No, anti-ai people are not stupid.
A lot of propaganda memes are popping up supporting AI or lessening legitimate concerns.
Yes, we know we are using AI whether we like it or not. IG, FB, TikTok, Google, and virtually anywhere we go on the internet today uses AI. I know there is a factor of inevitability when it comes to technological advancement.

Personally, because of all this, I believe knocking someone’s concerns about AI, is oversimplifying a real conversation and just childish.
Considering all this and more, it’s a lot easier to simply say AI is BS, and AI art is slop. Pay an artist or learn a few design tips.
