    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?

    Libre office draw is also underrated for memes. You can mark sections inside the file and export them to png.

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

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

      Raised a question:

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

        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.

    I just find it rich that most of these memes are just made with a website that adds captions… “Hurr durr my 5 clicks are more valid than your 5 clicks”

    Art is the idea and its expression. Bunch of pretentious snobs.

      I do imagine in a world of verifiably ethical, open source, local software, the choice to click five times in one tool or another would be viewed all but equally.

      “Ethical” being probably the most important descriptor there. A local open source tool that only siphoned up public domain art from consenting artists? Why would that be a big deal?

      Meanwhile if you hear that spirited away guy say he hates AI and then you see his art imitated by it, that’s certainly going to rub many folks the wrong way.

        You’re a moron. First off, his name is Miazaki, and secondly, that quote is taken out of context. Do you just believe whatever you’re told to believe with no research? Looks like it.

        And AI ethics? Are you fucking serious? Sure, the world is filled with slave labor and corruption and human trafficking and you’re over here defending copyright. The most capitalistic, corporate position you can take.

        If you couldn’t copy someone else’s art style, 99% of Deviant Art wouldn’t even exist. Ffs, painting and sculpture are broken into various periods based on how everything was a certain vibe. Where do you think Surrealism, realism, cubism and other terms come from?

        Hell, this meme was stolen from Fox/Seth MacFarlane. Did OP get permission to steal someone else’s art and plaster text on it? Literally the same ethics you claim to defend.

        These posts really just come across as a bunch of bitter Art Institute graduates who can’t do shit with their “degree”.

          Ironically, if you look at today’s top ‘memes’ in this community you’ll see that they’re all essentially a picture on a white background with text added to the top. Zero effort, zero creativity. Just find a picture, copy paste it into ms paint and put text above it (not even on the picture itself).

          you’re over here defending copyright. The most capitalistic, corporate position you can take.

          100%

          A lot of people on Lemmy will self identify as being left of center and then run around promoting the idea that people can own ideas in perpetuity. Which is very much a right wing authoritarian idea.

    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.

    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.

        LLM? I would’ve thought they’d use an image generation model for this rather than a language model. But yeah, it just does approximations without a lot of reasoning.

        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
