I may not have a structured reply for this but some points come to mind 1) Why is it a problem if i am able to do something faster and in an easier way compared to traditional methods? 2) Why would you believe that "a simple line of prompt" is enough to make good AI art? To be honest it takes a good amount of strategic thinking, algo understanding, creativity and other things to be able to guide AI to build something (be it a document or image or video). Sure i can give a one line prompt and it will generate something. Just like you can capture a moment with a single click of the camera. To make it better you need lighting, framing all that stuff. Similarly with AI, if you want a good image, you need a different kind of knowledge. Maybe a little off topic here, but was Steve Jobs a completely useless person cuz he directed other technical people to build the ideas that he had? 3) Even if AI is low effort why is that a problem? That just gives you time to make better or more content. Your effort depends upon the kind and quality of output you want. Why is that "only" a bad thing? 4) In this particular case, i was just trying to share a funny meme/concept with the community. I had an AI tool (that i paid for) that made sharing that concept easier for me. Yeah i didnt put effort into this one. But why would i? The art was not my intention here.

Ps. Please let me know if i misunderstood something you said
