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

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Never used it, but sounds lowkey genius actually

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Raised a question:

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That conjures up an amusing picture of somebody breathlessly waiting for the analysis before they let themselves laugh at a meme, to be sure they're not behaving unethically.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Hehe yes indeed now that you mention it!

"your better than me"

I wish you used AI.
