I'm on the fence about this too. If Ai images have been good for anything it's amusing 30-second shitposting and not actual artwork. Although I think vintage hand-made memes have more cultural value overall.
That being said, if you're gonna image-gen, I think it should be done on local hardware rather than spamming downtown-sized super-mega-data-centers using up an entire county's water supply to cool servers generating surreal Spongebob horror.
My 2¢ anyway.
