👑Memes hand drawn in crayon
I’ll take your shittiest MS Paint meme over your finest AI design.
I want the human element! I’m not relating to a machine. I want something made by another ghost in a meat suit.

How about this?
could be NSFL, if you're like 8

At least LLMs know the difference between your and you’re
You forgot the biggest one:

Memetic is actually pretty solid
“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.
Because they are
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.
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.
The average anti-ai zealot only know about Diffusion and Large Language models because they once used ChatGPT for 15 minutes, read some memes and are now an expert on how AI is ruining society.
To be fair, the sloppier side of AI has a much more direct effect on society than niche scientific and engineering applications, but I get what you’re after.
Oh yeah, most people see AI as ‘the thing that has made search completely unusable’ and not ‘The thing that has solved protein folding’.
It’s like the Internet is full of cavemen who are screaming and throwing rocks at a fire while, elsewhere, others are building jet turbines and combustion engines.
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
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 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:
Pretty strong reaction to the equivalent of a paint mixer for text…
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.
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.
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.
“Memes generated by a prompted LLM” doesn’t quite have the same ring.
i want to know what people are trying to use as prompts to generate ai “memes”. they’re probably really embarrassing.
portrait of a cartoon man squinting his eyes skeptically at the camera. Text at the top that says, "NOT SURE IF AI MEMES ARE A THING"
great, so it just assumed you wanted to rip off matt groening. he must be thrilled.
Well, I was on my phone at the time and that’s what ChatGPT generated. Here’s what FLUX Dev generated (locally on my PC):
my fury intensifies
but thanks the exchange. for now
Sophistry. Reduce everything to the most technically accurate description if you like – slop will still be slop.
amen
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.
you’re wasting your time. i’m not going to read that tripe.
Actually it wastes very little of his time compared to the time wasted by people that would try to read it. That’s precisely one of the most frustrating things about LLM, easy to flood a reader, no easier nor more interesting than the short prompt used to make it would have been instead to read.
ah, you said the word of the day: “flood”.
edit - i should expound. there’s a pretty obvious move happening right now in ameraica. american press are like flies to money, and your new despot knows this.
edit - you’ll be lost forever to the rest of the world if “parade day” goes off without a hitch.
Can you fucking not?
Now we’re taking the bilingual maimai-train too?
