can "AI" (it's an LLM) actually create "memes"? it isn't capable of generating new ideas or opinions, and i thought that was what memes are all about.
"Memes generated by a prompted LLM" doesn't quite have the same ring.
i want to know what people are trying to use as prompts to generate ai "memes". they're probably really embarrassing.
portrait of a cartoon man squinting his eyes skeptically at the camera. Text at the top that says, "NOT SURE IF AI MEMES ARE A THING"collapsed inline media
great, so it just assumed you wanted to rip off matt groening. he must be thrilled.
Well, I was on my phone at the time and that's what ChatGPT generated. Here's what FLUX Dev generated (locally on my PC):

my fury intensifies
but thanks the exchange. for now
The AI is "smart" enough to get by context what he's asking for, in much the same way we believe humans do
He asked for a meme of a man squinting, anyone familiar with meme culture is gonna think of Fry & Professor Chang first, and context of "not sure if" gives the game away that it's the Fry meme
That part is what makes AI actually interesting as a technology, homie
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.
ooh, rub that rub! it's a TOOL. the issue arises when these so-called "AI" companies start talking like their product isn't just autocomplete + cocaine.
Sophistry. Reduce everything to the most technically accurate description if you like -- slop will still be slop.
