Is it acceptable? Honestly I don’t know, it’s tricky.
It is not as if the picture is of real people that have been manipulated. Which is unacceptable . So, for me, it’s down to if the op couldn’t get their message across without it because, again for me, the message is far more important (at the moment).
And AI being shoved in to everything and up everyone’s arses is a problem for another day.
What I do know is that I posted my comment then read other comments and that most of the replies that mentioned AI were just mentioning AI. Some mentioned AI and the general message of the post. Some mentioned the message, but the majority and their replies were just about the AI.
Which, to me, means that OP’s message seems to be less important.
If op could draw themselves I don’t think they would have used AI.
A quick “fuck AI” then acknowledgement about the general meaning of the post is far more important, and on topic, than just mentioning AI.
The general message of this post has been steam rollered by other things, and it really shouldn’t be like that.
“Numerous impeachments? That’s fine.
Convicted of numerous felonies? No that’s fine, lol.
Adjudicated rapist? That’s fine as well, she was probably asking for it, women amirite!!.
Six bankruptcies and multiple failed businesses, you say? Yeah that’s also fine because it was the other people and not him.
Proven record of scams, even on charities? No, that’s just good business.”

“Wait, he’s messing with my money now? This is intolerable, this is disgusting. How unfair, oh woe is me!!!”
