When the conversation does happen, the participants don't follow the preplanned answers

Why AI meme?

No hate to AI or image generation, they have their purposes, but why AI meme?

This is a 2 minute sketch, TBH I might be able to make this by hand faster than any of my locally deployed AI models.

"Sketch, Color, Snap, Crop, Add Text, Upload."

Dont say its a skill thing, I've seen literal stick figure drawings on lined paper get upvoted to frontpage here on Lemmy.

I like making fun little image while I'm doing chores. There's also some shading and the facial expression, this is above the level of most people who arent inclined.

I already have a job and hobbies, Im just trying to make my buddies laugh in the chat. I wont be paying anyone to make me memes either. In terms of ethics, I think making memes is actually the best use of AI.

Sure I could do something way uglier by hand, but it's literally more effort and I simply dont want to so there isnt much incentive. I wasnt making memes by hand before if you get what I'm saying.

It's a great way to not get any sleep though.

Who's the artist that made this

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Ai Weiwei, minus the Weiwei

Likely AI. What sticks out to me is the text thats too messy to be font and too clean to be handwriting. It does not come up in a Tineye search, which would be common if it was reposted from somewhere else, and if OP made it they could say so. Lack of credit is always suspicious

Does AI just generate a font now and use that for text? I'm asking because the letters seem to be entirely consistent which I don't think would happen if the text was image-gend.

There's also a good chance it's just the image that was AI generated and someone did manually add the text, easiest check might be to reverse search without the text.

No, the text was definitely edited in afterwards.

I have these conversations with my dog instead of the real person. He understands and is ALWAYS on my side

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Aww I like that 🥰

I’ve decided to take control over my thoughts. I’m more cognizant of them now and stop before I start ruminating.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Alright, you busted me. Aren't you clever!

They do happen, couple hours to few years ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They'll post a meme about how I win arguments with people in my head, and I'll say no because I lose them all. That'll show them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I do this every day

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The prep work is one thing. The follow through is another. The motive though? That's the key.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago
