Well AI is definitely better than humans now
AI-made memes aren't funny at all.
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?
"your better than me"
I wish you used AI.
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
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.
Ok ok, I admit that I chuckled at "I identify as wifi"
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.
Yeah good catch, I used the completely wrong word there.
Capybara are extremely popular the past few years.
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
There’s a TikTok sound/song about capybaras, and videos of them are fairly popular.
I am at my sexiest when badly editing memes in GIMP, which isn't saying much but it is fact
*you're
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.

“No corporations were enriched by the creation of this content”
It's not just that. If it was, I'd have been convinced by the new-era freedom fighters using fucking ai horde, or whatever sloppers call their latest open-source [citation needed] model instance.
The biggest issue is the shameless, continuous abuse of creative workers by sucking up all their works without consent.

Because they are
👑Memes hand drawn in crayon
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.

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.

I make all memes in Figma
What's figma?
Its an infinite canvas 2d design tool, used for making software mockups, prototyping and workflow designs. But I use it for all sorts of things, including things you might use Illustrator for like designing logos and vector graphics. It's very powerful.
Lol, I won't lie to you I was just setting up for the inevitable "figma balls" joke, thanks for the serious explanation though
Figma balls

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?
