This is more like having access to a factory that makes guns. Except the guns are racist and sexist memes.


Is it hard to make racist and sexist memes now?


The point is surely that it's now potentially far easier to programmatically generate new offensive memes at scale.


That doesn't seem a) particularly useful or b) like it was hard to do before.

I could easily gather a corpus of racist slogans, a corpus of racist images, and smash them together to get a few thousand racist memes. It would probably take less time than relying on an AI model to generate each one (which takes a few seconds to a few minutes each).

And it's not as though there aren't millions of actual racists out there spewing out racist content constantly anyway.
