something about these are really new and different, and kind of impressive to be honest. never before have people with no talent or taste been able to make garbage at this level. they have figured out how to lower the bar to lower depths than i ever thought possible.

All the positive responses reflect this. People just want to know “what prompts were used?” Or see a technique employing a new ai tool they haven’t heard of yet. They are impressed with the machine learning’s ability to make something, but the content itself is worthless.
