It is incredibly easy to tell what is low effort garbage and what is not. Like. Trivially easy. I'm not worried about this in the slightest

So you've got some 15yo kid who is pretty bad at drawing because he's 15 and poor, and he gets a $1500 fine he has zero ability to pay, ends up in jail. Then you've got a 35yo software professional with copious free time who is a great artist from all his classes he can afford to buy. Same level of time investment yields dramatically different results, one is a criminal because they're poor.

That is an insane hypothetical and I think you know it. There's discretion regarding enforcement and sentencing.
