A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

That is not the argument being made here. The argument is that people would rather see a bad or decent piece of human-made art to be able to look in someone's mind, than look at amazingly skillful AI art.
Your thinking comes from a productivity and competition standpoint, which is just not what's being talked about here. Productivity and competition is so deeply ingrained under capitalism that not caring about both of those things is hard to conceive.
It's not talking about making a movie that succeeds on Netflix, or making a cover image to sell a product, etc etc etc, but about expressing yourself as a human to other humans.
