      Generally in favour of that notion.

      But I also don’t think being able to communicate ideas visually should be strictly in the domain of people who can draw.

      I can’t draw AND Ii don’t have anything worth saying so it isn’t really an issue for me, personally. I just slap impact font on a carefully selected meme template, the way God intended.

      Edit: Behold

          Aw yes because the effort is what matters?

          That is why I tell loggers they should use hands saws. Chainsaws are really just cheating.

        Frankly, the problem with AI slop isn’t the AI, it’s the slop. We now get to see what all those “I have so many great ideas, if only I could draw, you’d see!” people’s ideas actually are, and it’s… this shit.

          “Can’t draw” effectively means “don’t currently have the skill” not “will never be able to”, generally. If it would take hours learning a new skill to create one thing and if you don’t have the available time to do so, then that’s outside of the realm of a reasonable expectation, and thus effectively counts as “can’t”.

          No amount of effort or practicing worked for me. I don’t know if it’s some kind of visual issue, a mental issue, or what. I do have aphantasia, so that might be related? I cannot reproduce something I see. It’s just like the data that make up the thing don’t make sense in a way I can put it on paper,

            This is really a teaching issue. There are several techniques that can train your brain how to draw. Arguably you may never be a great artist but you can definitely learn to draw with adequate results.

      I’m surprised these images make it so high up on Lemmy when this place is (rightly) so culturally opposed to the stuff.

      Trump already learned* the word “tariff”, and now you want him to learn another?

      *: Yes, I know he doesn’t know the definition of “tariff”, but he knows it’s a word.
