This is probably a bit, but this kind of thing is what I mean when I say people pathologize everything now.

A less wild example I can think of is that someone that is antisocial and had their nose in books used to just be called an introvert or a nerd, but now such a person would probably accused of using escapism to avoid the real world. A harmless personality trait is now considered a concerning problem that an individual should be shamed for.
Not everything outside of reproducing and generating capital is cope.
I'm going to assume it's a bit too, but can someone explain the humor to me please?
Is it just saying something absurd in order to get a reaction out of people and the joke is in them falling for it?
A lot of people will say that this is obvious trolling, but why don't they add something like /jk? If the clarification would ruin the joke, doesn't that mean it hinges the the fact that someone out there might be serious about this and it's an acceptable probability that these netizens aren't actually being humorous, but in fact are being serious.
"I pranked people and made them get mad by saying something shitty." Is my guess. Very oldschool internet kind of trolling/rage bait
Having spent too much time on the argumentative side of tumblr, i think its a satire of anti-AI art arguments
Original comment mirrors the argument that ai art is for ppl who "cant draw" otherwise, reply mirrors the idea that ai art is just mushing together other ppls art and and is "art theft"
