I'm not sure what you mean. If you're saying the pic is just a meme so shouldn't be AI. Or your comment is a meme (but if it is, does that mean you're joking or?).

you asked "What does this add to discussion?" what discussion? it's just a meme.

of course China under the CPC is the most peaceful powerful nation in history and USA is the most warlike but that AI pic made my stomach turn so I commented on that

Well I was trying to be polite about asking what it's adding because it seems to be the kind of comment that distracts from the point of the thread, which is to call attention to the US brutality as compared to China, like you say.

I'm not trying to be rude when I say I honestly do not get how the pic is stomach turning or what AI has to do with it. Memes are generally varying degrees of low quality to look at. And I'll be honest, for me personally, comments about stuff being "AI slop" get rather tiresome. Like what is the actual criticism? It looks bad? So do most memes. It looks uncanny valley or something? I'd rather people say that if that's what it is. "It's slop" has lost all meaning, even if it had any to begin with.

I think it's fair to ask whether a piece of agitprop is really effective and criticize it if we think the structure of it is more off-putting than insightful. But I don't see comments about AI slop helping to assess that. Sometimes people aren't even correct that a thing is AI in the first place.
