I'll take a stick figure meme made in Paint over AI. Literally just put the bare minimum of effort into it.

Here you go then:
Drawn at same scale, without zooming.
That gave me a good hearty chuckle :)
Btw, Krita seems really good FOSS software for new digital artists to start with, might be worth a shot!
Artist here, Krita is better than many paid alternatives. If only it had a good mobile version.
I'm 100% using the KDE Connect gyro mouse the next time we play Gartic Phone.
Now this is shitposting with style
i don't know what that says and that's cooler
Gyno house lol
Am I the only one that just doesn't give a shit? It's just a meme. Now if it's my bank or something like my kids school. Yea I want the real deal.
Does Pocket Paint (Android) count?
Fuck yeah, Pocket Paint gang.
looks adequately photoshopped to me
Almost overengineered for a meme if you zoom in.
There's some charm to badly shopped memes though.
Evil monkey!
That's because they really ARE better than AI memes
Shut up Maig.
Handcraft is always superior to factory-made. Even when it is crude - it has character and attitude about it. Except for explosives.
Why shopped?
You can always shoot for krits with Krita, or show you haven't bathed this year (easy on Jan 2026) by being proficient in GNU Image Manipulation Program.
My last post was made in the latter as a test.
Anti AI maymay is better with faked AI vs using a real one.
FYI I am proficient in Gimp and actually bathed three months ago. Wait.
The more effort you put into your terrible, artisanal shitposting, the more I'm going to love it.
the higher the ratio of time:quality, the more I'll love it
Well, I find them funny. Probably why I'm generally laughing more than the rest of you.
