Are you familiar with the “Chad” meme? The whole point is the over-the-top obvious, smack-you-in-the-face image editing.

There is a difference between editing, and asking a program to make an entirely new, weird looking image using half a sun in power and more data than the entirety of twitter

I pretty strongly doubt that even without power usage or quantity of training data that people would stop gatekeeping prompt-generated imagery. It's a whole personality trait to put on whatever the yiff equivalent of grinder is now.
