Because they are
“No corporations were enriched by the creation of this content”
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.
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.
👑Memes hand drawn in crayon
Chatbots: Fuck you
Image AI: Fuck you
Partially use of AI in complex film productions etc: Fine
Plant recognition: You're cool
Surveillance AI: Fuck you
Scientific use of machine learning: Great!
Commercial AI in general: And fuck you, I'm out!
Data analysis and forecasting chaotic systems too complex for brute force numerical hijinks are great applications for neural networks. One dude I saw was doing his PhD on nowcasting (weather forecasts of the very short term (10 to 90 min. range) showers and thunderstorms with neural networks. Interesting stuff.
Plus we've had that shit in research since I was in grad school over a decade ago. People acting like machine learning is new. Smh
AI for subtitles: You've been a long way but now you're cool
I use AI solely for writing little scripts to automate the boring stuff with python. Sometimes with a bash script, but I'm far less comfortable with those.
GIMP is not low effort. If you can 'quickly assemble' memes, it's because of previous effort. (I'm studying to be someone who can quickly assemble memes in GIMP)
That program has a unique UI philosophy. Does it resemble Photoshop? I've never used that.
Never used Photoshop either but from the way everyone and their mother compares it to GIMP when complaining about the UI, I think it's safe to say GIMP sucks in that regard.
I'm not gonna lie, the few times I've used GIMP to crop a picture, I felt lost as hell.
GIMP feels like it's still in the stage of being extremely powerful but awkward as heck to wield, like Blender used to be. Blender used to have a pretty unintuitive interface before getting a massive overhaul a few years back. GIMP could use a similar facelift IMO.
Because we are better than you.
Invincible is pretty good for this.
Memes quickly assembled in Gimp should be sitting on a throne considering the skills required
You forgot the biggest one:
Made with Memetic
Memetic is actually pretty solid
op calling me out:
me:
Sometimes I use reaction gifs.
Also sometimes I use a photo editor on my phone.
I sometimes will get a bunch of people to help gaslight someone else that they don't exist
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.
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
I use "photo editor" on android. Free, no frills, no ad's, works decently. It has a lot of cool features. I just wish the layering was better.
Every single other free photo editor was bullshit.

I used it to make/ edit this:
The crayon scribbles of my 3 year old nephew on the back of a soggy napkin holds more value than a mountain of AI slop.
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?
can "AI" (it's an LLM) actually create "memes"? it isn't capable of generating new ideas or opinions, and i thought that was what memes are all about.
I just asked my local installation of llama 3.1 and here's what it came up with. You tell me. Is this an original thought?

The elusive goal of creating a meme that becomes internet gold. Here's a concept I'd like to propose:
Meme Name: "Lost in the Fold"
Image Description: A playful, surrealist illustration featuring a person (usually a cartoon character or a relatable Everyman) sitting on a couch or bed with their laptop open in front of them. However, instead of being focused on their screen, they're utterly absorbed by a single page they've printed out from Google Docs and are now folding it into the most complex origami designs possible.
The Twist: The person's face is contorted in an expression of intense concentration, while their laptop screen displays various tabs open to things like "Cat videos," "Reddit r/funny," or "Instagram." Meanwhile, the folded paper begins to take on a life of its own, as if it's being manipulated by an invisible force. The folds grow more intricate and absurd, resembling a miniature cityscape or even a functioning mechanical device.
Caption Ideas:
When you're trying to get work done but your brain keeps folding into the abyss. I spent 3 hours folding this paper and now it's judging me Currently stuck in an origami rabbit holeWhy it'll go viral: This meme taps into several aspects of internet culture that are sure to resonate with audiences:
Relatability : Who hasn't stared at a blank page or screen, unsure where to begin or how to focus? Absurdity : The image's surreal quality and the ridiculousness of folding paper into impossible shapes will provide endless fodder for humor and creativity. Nostalgia : Many people who grew up with Google Docs will remember printing out pages and attempting (or failing) to fold them into intricate designs, making this meme a nostalgic throwback.Variations:
Users can create their own custom illustrations featuring themselves or favorite characters lost in the fold. The image can be modified to incorporate various themes, such as folding paper into actual working machines or creating miniature worlds within the folds. The meme can evolve to include humorous explanations for why the person is folding the paper (e.g., "I'm trying to create a portal to another dimension," or "I'm making a origami shrine to my productivity gods").There you have it! Will "Lost in the Fold" become the next big meme sensation? Only time will tell, but I hope this concept inspires some creativity and gets shared far and wide.
Sophistry. Reduce everything to the most technically accurate description if you like -- slop will still be slop.
amen
No one is using it to generate the memes. Its being used to create a visual representation of an idea. The idea comes from the user in this case as well. It's a tool (although with a lot more ethical baggage) just like ms paint.
ooh, rub that rub! it's a TOOL. the issue arises when these so-called "AI" companies start talking like their product isn't just autocomplete + cocaine.
At least LLMs know the difference between your and you're
Pretty strong reaction to the equivalent of a paint mixer for text...
*You're
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.
*you're
I am at my sexiest when badly editing memes in GIMP, which isn't saying much but it is fact
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.Just like your mom
AI-made memes aren't funny at all.
Even worse is, many AI generated memes also feel like if they were made from vague prompts the AI did not correctly understood.
I make all memes in Figma
Never used it, but sounds lowkey genius actually
"your better than me"
I wish you used AI.
Now we're taking the bilingual maimai-train too?
