I've always seen the anti-AI movement as pro-corporation. It's mostly for the benefit of the copyright industry while its already quite easy to decouple yourself from the corporate aspects of AI with its open source options.

How about this?

So... you don't buy fast food?

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.

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.

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.

Chatbots: Fuck you

Really? Honestly it's the most innocent use if you're not the kind of person to get hooked on them

Image AI: Fuck you

I get why people have this harsh stance, but without my locally-hosted AI doing concept work for me then my avatar as you see it here wouldn't exist nor would an artist be considerably more wealthy than they were before I commissioned them. I get that I'm in the minority by a wide margin, but people like me exist in decent amounts too

Commercial AI in general: And fuck you, I'm out!

Yeah, commercial AI is the problem. I cannot begin to understand being upset at someone running it locally and not for profit though, which happens a lot

ETA: Case in point - the dipshits who downvoted me for this. Good job not using y'all's brains

Also sometimes I use a photo editor on my phone.

What's figma?

"Memes generated by a prompted LLM" doesn't quite have the same ring.

No one is using it to generate the memes. Its being used to create a visual representation of an idea. The idea comes from the user in this case as well. It's a tool (although with a lot more ethical baggage) just like ms paint.

Sophistry. Reduce everything to the most technically accurate description if you like -- slop will still be slop.

I just asked my local installation of llama 3.1 and here's what it came up with. You tell me. Is this an original thought?

The elusive goal of creating a meme that becomes internet gold. Here's a concept I'd like to propose:

Meme Name: "Lost in the Fold"

Image Description: A playful, surrealist illustration featuring a person (usually a cartoon character or a relatable Everyman) sitting on a couch or bed with their laptop open in front of them. However, instead of being focused on their screen, they're utterly absorbed by a single page they've printed out from Google Docs and are now folding it into the most complex origami designs possible.

The Twist: The person's face is contorted in an expression of intense concentration, while their laptop screen displays various tabs open to things like "Cat videos," "Reddit r/funny," or "Instagram." Meanwhile, the folded paper begins to take on a life of its own, as if it's being manipulated by an invisible force. The folds grow more intricate and absurd, resembling a miniature cityscape or even a functioning mechanical device.

Caption Ideas:

        When you're trying to get work done but your brain keeps folding into the abyss.
    I spent 3 hours folding this paper and now it's judging me
    Currently stuck in an origami rabbit hole
     


  

Why it'll go viral: This meme taps into several aspects of internet culture that are sure to resonate with audiences:

        Relatability : Who hasn't stared at a blank page or screen, unsure where to begin or how to focus?
    Absurdity : The image's surreal quality and the ridiculousness of folding paper into impossible shapes will provide endless fodder for humor and creativity.
    Nostalgia : Many people who grew up with Google Docs will remember printing out pages and attempting (or failing) to fold them into intricate designs, making this meme a nostalgic throwback.
     


  

Variations:

        Users can create their own custom illustrations featuring themselves or favorite characters lost in the fold.
    The image can be modified to incorporate various themes, such as folding paper into actual working machines or creating miniature worlds within the folds.
    The meme can evolve to include humorous explanations for why the person is folding the paper (e.g., "I'm trying to create a portal to another dimension," or "I'm making a origami shrine to my productivity gods").
     


  

There you have it! Will "Lost in the Fold" become the next big meme sensation? Only time will tell, but I hope this concept inspires some creativity and gets shared far and wide.

Raised a question:

How much longer until it requires a forensics team to determine whether a meme was handmade or of synthetic origin?

I do imagine in a world of verifiably ethical, open source, local software, the choice to click five times in one tool or another would be viewed all but equally.

“Ethical” being probably the most important descriptor there. A local open source tool that only siphoned up public domain art from consenting artists? Why would that be a big deal?

Meanwhile if you hear that spirited away guy say he hates AI and then you see his art imitated by it, that’s certainly going to rub many folks the wrong way.

Imagine believing this.
