But here’s the question… how much could you care less?

Look.
The thing about a new technology is that once it exists, it never un-exists.
AI is here. It’s never going away. Ever.
There are all sorts of actual concerning issues about AI that need to be taken extremely seriously. Personally, I could care less if it gets used to generate memes. It’s not like memes are meant to look like actual, real situations that could trick people into thinking something that didn’t happen did or vice versa. It’s clearly for a laugh. It’s not putting “meme artists” out of business because there is no industry for memes where people are putting their memes in meme galleries that people buy tickets to.
Getting mad over AI generated memes specifically just seems like a waste of energy. Like you’re trying to find something to be mad about.

Is ‘negative’ a proper value?

Blockchain is here. NFTs are here. The Metaverse is here.
Not long ago they were the ‘unavoidable evolution of technology’ that we were sometimes scolded for mocking.
Maybe they won’t go away, ever. But that’s actually not important.
Just because a technology exists doesn’t mean it will be relevant whatsoever in the future - even if the technology is ostensibly a huge market with billions of dollars being poured into it, and there’s nothing wrong with calling out stupid technology and complaining about it.
The AI LLM slopaverse is both a stupid business model and a stupid technology (given the amount of investment and valuations). Considering real world utility of LLMs I’d say it deserves around 1/1000th of the current investment - if rational people ran the world.
