It's worse that that. It can be done in less than a minute using *Paint.net*. It's not about the amount of effort, it's that people don't TRY.
And to be fair, I get it -- My *personal* interest in AI generated art is to see how good I can get things to be *without manual intervention* from prompt to finished image. But I also don't upload a lot of art, either, because I'm not foolish enough to think it's all amazing.
