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

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?

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.

AI-made memes aren't funny at all.

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?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

Hehe yes indeed now that you mention it!

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.

👑Memes hand drawn in crayon

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

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!

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.
