A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
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
AI-made memes aren't funny at all.
"your better than me"
I wish you used AI.
Because they are
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
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.
Memes quickly assembled in Gimp should be sitting on a throne considering the skills required
Because we are better than you. 
Invincible is pretty good for this.
I asked ChatGPT to make a cutting edge, unique, creative, evolutionary meme that appeals to Gen Z and...this is what it did.
Ew.
I honestly like this... I feel like this still fits into the good old-fashioned fun of the humour of e.g. aiweirdness.com
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.
Capybara are extremely popular the past few years.
Ok ok, I admit that I chuckled at "I identify as wifi"
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:
Libre office draw is also underrated for memes. You can mark sections inside the file and export them to png.
I am at my sexiest when badly editing memes in GIMP, which isn't saying much but it is fact
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.
Pretty strong reaction to the equivalent of a paint mixer for text...
