Ah, relax, grandpa, it's not like people are putting AI images in galleries, but we are using it to fill a niche of forum posts to amuse ourselves for a few seconds.
Like this image would be too demeaning for some artist to make, but not for AI

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
