Fuck AI Memes

Exactly. The whole point of memes is remixing a shared cultural context to create new meanings. If you're just whistling up a bland piece of shit image to convey a thought, that's just political cartooning with, if it can be believed, even less effort than usual.

AI art is the aesthetic of fascism. It pushes the viewer’s thoughts in a particular direction, with the illusion of substance and serious thought underpinning it, but ultimately thin and without any consistent cohesive beliefs or connection to any objective shared reality.

It worked!

Congrats!

Yee Haw to brigading and less content & engagement on lemmy!
- That was my point, actually.
  Irony rules.

More Dark Knight Returns-based memes, please.

Batman should use a gun. Criminals are constantly escaping from Arkham, but that's how he likes it otherwise he would get bored. If police encountered Mr Freeze or the Joker killing civilians you know they're shooting to kill.

"Fash should fash harder."
- Well if we're talking about should Batman exist at all, no. Either as a ultra wealthy individual or freelance crime fighter. I'm just saying in the universe of Batman (setting aside DC overall which raises more issues) it doesn't make sense that Batman is like "I'm a vigilante, but I'll let these known repeat murderers off easy." He's already taken the judgement of good/bad on himself rather than let democratically appointed actors handle things. So if you've already taken that step what's the fetish for not using a gun?

If you're crying about memes while state surveillance, policing, and genocide thrive... Then you're missing the point that actually matters.

AI image gen is wrapped up in all of that.
We can complain about multiple things at once.

Let's not use guns, let's just beat the criminals into a vegetative state

I can salute to this meme!

I can't help but feel like there is a slight tinge of irony because the main complaint I see against AI art is that it's all based on Stolen work but this meme is also stolen work it is very unlikely that OP is the original artist that drew that.

Now i say slight because it's obviously different just slapping some text over a screenshot vs ai training but it's enough to make me smirk a little
