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.

I'm sure this is meant as a joke. But, really, prompts are the only part of AI art that is actually creative. Especially if someone has been trying to fine tune what they want for a while, the prompt might actually have something interesting in it.

Even though memes are shared as images, it's often the text that's the important and funny bit. The meme image is just context for the words.

I'm not saying I'm actually interested in reading people's AI prompts. But, there might be an interesting idea in that prompt that the person could express in a way that's not boring and soulless like GenAI tends to be.

I think I'd rather read someone's prompt instead of having them paste me the output. I can always run it myself if I want, but a lot of the time I'd rather cut out the AI

If you ran it yourself you'd get a different output.

Yes, but if they didn't care precisely about the output, then that doesn't really matter.

The point is the output. If they're saying just give me the prompt and if I want I can run it myself. There is a meaningful difference if the output is different.
