Because we are better than you. 
Invincible is pretty good for this.
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?

Well AI is definitely better than humans now
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.
Capybara are extremely popular the past few years.
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.
Yeah good catch, I used the completely wrong word there.
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
There’s a TikTok sound/song about capybaras, and videos of them are fairly popular.
Ok ok, I admit that I chuckled at "I identify as wifi"
I honestly like this... I feel like this still fits into the good old-fashioned fun of the humour of e.g. aiweirdness.com
Libre office draw is also underrated for memes. You can mark sections inside the file and export them to png.
I am at my sexiest when badly editing memes in GIMP, which isn't saying much but it is fact

AI-made memes aren't funny at all.
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 make all memes in Figma
What's figma?
Figma balls
Gottem
Its an infinite canvas 2d design tool, used for making software mockups, prototyping and workflow designs. But I use it for all sorts of things, including things you might use Illustrator for like designing logos and vector graphics. It's very powerful.
Lol, I won't lie to you I was just setting up for the inevitable "figma balls" joke, thanks for the serious explanation though

Even worse is, many AI generated memes also feel like if they were made from vague prompts the AI did not correctly understood.
