minus-squareVince@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 days agoThis feels like what it should be used for though. Dumb, low effort memes, where the idea is more important that the quality or fidelity of the art.
minus-squarepetrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·16 days agoI’m trying to think of how this would be done without AI, actually, and I don’t really know. It is funnier with Trump and Xi here. Maybe. Maybe stock photo could have worked, but… I dunno. It is funnier with Trump’s facial expression in the third panel. We obviously don’t have pictures of Trump and Xi playing poker. I do agree that the idea here is much more important than the visuals. I’m just really struggling to be upset with this one.
