I ABHOR how normalised AI has become on platforms around the World Wide Web
It’s lazy and a ultimatumon effort and autodidatic capacity.
You are actively resorting to waste hydropower energy and drag us into potential water shortage pandemonium just to lobotomized what could’ve been a perfectly good joke.
This is one of the online exertions that treasonous vermin Trump wants you to enact to entail his horrible totalitarian deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions .
Stop appeasing to that oligarch genocide funding clown and his immoral calavry of fascist oppressors who operates utilities that are primarily made to pollute our ecosystem and increase climate change and ocean levels raising.
If I ever see another shitty No-effort AI Picture like this again, I will actively and violently scratch out my eyes with a rusty garden weasel wrapped in mint condition barbed wire and sandpaper the wounded sockets shut so I could never see slop take control of meme subculture.
Is it that sophisticated to edit Trump’s head over a keyboardist’s anatomy?
Look.
The thing about a new technology is that once it exists, it never un-exists.
AI is here. It’s never going away. Ever.
There are all sorts of actual concerning issues about AI that need to be taken extremely seriously. Personally, I could care less if it gets used to generate memes. It’s not like memes are meant to look like actual, real situations that could trick people into thinking something that didn’t happen did or vice versa. It’s clearly for a laugh. It’s not putting “meme artists” out of business because there is no industry for memes where people are putting their memes in meme galleries that people buy tickets to.
Getting mad over AI generated memes specifically just seems like a waste of energy. Like you’re trying to find something to be mad about.
But here’s the question… how much could you care less?
Is ‘negative’ a proper value?
Great, another “AI sucks and I’m so much more enlightened because I don’t like or use AI” post.
The irony of using the internet on a device to post about the energy consumption of AI while relying on that same general infrastructure and energy consumption to make and distribute the post is… rather fantastic.
If OP really wanted to make a point about reducing AI usage, there is something amusing about using an internet-based service to make that argument.
And the fact that the joke is considered unfunny specifically because it was AI-generated seems like a particularly strange criticism. Whether someone personally likes or dislikes AI is certainly their prerogative, but that doesn’t really tell anyone anything about whether the joke itself works. It’s a little like saying, “I don’t like this joke because of the tool that was used to make it.”

Oh no. Another “you are critical of capitalism and yet iPhone” post.

It’s unfunny because it’s lazy and cheap. The AI only further illustrates how lazy and how cheap.
You could have done this in paint.net inside 20 minutes.

So you’re admitting it’s no work of art that should require lots of time and effort to create?
So why not use AI? Clearly you believe memes are something that should be cheap, easy, and quick to do. I agree. Why waste valuable time making a meme? Memes should be relatively low effort jokes. So why not use AI? It’s one of the least harmful ways to use AI.
I apologize for bringing your logical fallacies to light. I realize pointing them out is intellectually lazy, but unfortunately it seems necessary when they make up the basis of the rebuttal.
You’re conflating the effort required to manufacture an image with the effort involved in creating the joke. The context of the joke isn’t who manufactured the image; it’s who made the joke. The AI didn’t independently decide that Netanyahu, Trump, and Ed Sheeran standing on a stage would be funny. A person came up with that concept and used AI as the tool to produce it.
You could have made the same image in Paint.NET in 20 minutes. Great. That doesn’t demonstrate that the joke is lazy, and it certainly doesn’t demonstrate that it’s unfunny. It demonstrates that you prefer a different method of producing the image.
And “lazy” isn’t a synonym for “unfunny.” If I spend twenty hours painstakingly creating the exact same image in Photoshop, the joke doesn’t magically become funnier because I invested more labor into manufacturing the pixels.
If you don’t find the joke funny, that’s perfectly fine. But that’s a subjective reaction, not an argument. If your argument is that the joke itself is lazy, then explain why the idea is lazy. The fact that the production of the image was automated doesn’t establish that.
For the record, your rebuttal relies on several logical fallacies. The “you criticize AI while using the internet” comparison is a false analogy because my point was about the irony of criticizing the energy consumption of one internet-based activity while participating in another, not that you are somehow forbidden from criticizing technology you use. Your claim that the image is lazy because it was AI-generated is essentially circular reasoning because you are using the use of AI as both the evidence and the conclusion that the work was lazy. And saying that it could have been made in Paint.NET in 20 minutes is a non sequitur: the amount of effort required to produce an image does not establish whether the underlying joke is funny or whether the person who conceived it was creative. Those arguments don’t establish your conclusion; they simply assert it from different directions.
Is this an AI generated response?
Yes.
This response was also AI generated.
No doofus it wasn’t.
Google keyboard has a grammar and spelling check that’s powered by AI and that is what I use because it’s the quickest way to type all that up.
The words however are my own.
hEy cHaT Is tHiS CoMmEnT Ai?
Credits to pmjvTbh many people don’t use PCs at all, and the advent of cheap generative ai for image manipulation makes this kind of creative task more accessible to those people. I hate it. I would like to put the touch screen genie back in the bottle. But it is too late.
The verbosity of your interlocution is positively sesquipedalian.
Someone somewhere used a computer to do computer things. Boohoo 🎻
Jesus christ that text post was mildly infuriating. Please slow down and use words you both know how to spell and how to use in a sentence.
kthx.
Right? Maybe they should use AI.

Whoever made that could have easily done it with basic photo editing skills instead of AI. Even if it didn’t turn out great, it would still show that a person cared enough to try doing it themselves.
Who cares? It’s a meme. You look at it for a few seconds and never think about it again.
Why spend time with an editing tool for something that gives people a quick laugh and makes you zero revenue?

OMG the irony of using AI to rail against the use of AI.
It’s a screenshot of another post, one which presumably inspired the rant
Bro, this would just be the top spot in photoshop battles. A skillset that used to be really really accessible is now no longer even fun because well-done results will be considered gen AI.
Also, your writing seems like an AI prompt that says: be outraged at AI, make every mistake.
Yep. You need to make them shitty now.
Make your own version and post it in the comments.
Love Sinead but AI/the Bourgeoisie is the real enemy.
AI and people using it to make memes are not the real enemy.
The real enemy are the assholes using it for actual nefarious and greedy purposes. Using it to make memes doesn’t fall into the nefarious or greedy categories.
