For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Isn't the whole thing about AI that it generates "bespoke" images on demand rather than pulling from a prearranged catalog?
But the AI output engine doesn't.
It is significantly cheaper and less energy intensive than generating new images on demand. That's before you get into AI images as the same quality of “not quite fit but might be good enough images”
Mental gymnastics
We can admit that that is not the appeal of AI image generation and does/will not happen very often
