    AI needs to be treated with calm patience. It needs to be contained and observed so we can realise its potential in a safe, contained environment. Instead we’re immediately using it to replace what the wealthy don’t have and can never possess. Born-in talent. Artistry, humour. It’s what you can’t buy. It makes the people capable of creativity high value. And we can’t have that, can we?

    Libre office draw is also underrated for memes. You can mark sections inside the file and export them to png.

    Memes quickly assembled in Gimp should be sitting on a throne considering the skills required

    I think AI memes can be as amusing as other memes. Imprecision and misinterpretation are basic foundations of humor.

      Raised a question:

      How much longer until it requires a forensics team to determine whether a meme was handmade or of synthetic origin?

    I asked ChatGPT to make a cutting edge, unique, creative, evolutionary meme that appeals to Gen Z and…this is what it did.

    Ew.

      The capybara with airpods, lol. Are capybaras particularly popular with Gen Z?

      It’s interesting to me to see the airpods aren’t even in its ears, which I take as the LLM not recognizing that the capybara’s ears are ears. Or maybe it doesn’t recognize that airpods belong in ears, and just sees that it generally goes on the side of the head where ears usually are. It really is fascinating technology, shame it’s used in the way it is.

        LLM? I would’ve thought they’d use an image generation model for this rather than a language model. But yeah, it just does approximations without a lot of reasoning.

        i wouldn’t consider it an inherently LLM issue, given how many animal cartoons we have who also wear headphones where human ears would be.

        it’s such a human error

    By definition AI is an attempt to imitate the source material, so yeah, it can only be a little worse or a lot worse, but never better.

      Full definition is predicting but if you predict wrong enough you can hallucinate stuff and once in a while it’s close.

      And only cost is enough money to end homelessnes 30 times over.
      Unless you unignore the ethics side, then there are a few extra costs.

    I’ll take your shittiest MS Paint meme over your finest AI design.

    I want the human element! I’m not relating to a machine. I want something made by another ghost in a meat suit.

      It’s not just that. If it was, I’d have been convinced by the new-era freedom fighters using fucking ai horde, or whatever sloppers call their latest open-source [citation needed] model instance.

      The biggest issue is the shameless, continuous abuse of creative workers by sucking up all their works without consent.

      I’ve always seen the anti-AI movement as pro-corporation. It’s mostly for the benefit of the copyright industry while its already quite easy to decouple yourself from the corporate aspects of AI with its open source options.

        that implies it’s the corporations that make art. the idea of art coming from corps is already a gross injustice to artists, but at least they can get paid a little. to take away what they do entirely for something that literally only remixes existing art from past and present artists is one of the darkest things we’re coming to accept in our late stage capitalist society.

        we simply do not want artists anymore. we’d rather the machines preform every task that’s worth doing so that we can all go slave away at manual labor as human labor continues to get cheaper than machines.
