Not sure if AI slop (Edit: apparently not)
At least I'm fairly certain it's not loss.
It's panels two and three
2030s: "Is this cake AI generated?"
2010s: "The cake is a lie!"
3d printed cake. The frosting to cake ratio to make the structure stable sounds like it would kill most people and be delicious.
Would be nice if there was an artist signature or something that we could reference.
If it's a meme, it might actually shared and reshared for a tons of time, which inevitably went through those "meme page" on facebook or insta, where they tend to crop the signature off. So the lack of signature sometime make recognition hard.
Not AI
Yeah this image is like prehistoric internet
The fact that there are people who can't tell if this is ai or not is upsetting. This image is like at least 7 years old.
Made me look again! Don't know how to qualify this, but that is obviously not AI generated. Swear to god, the AI hate around here is a straight up witch hunt.
Well, witches (in that sense) were a fantasy and usually people who weren't hurting anyone.
A which hunt?
pulls out torch and pitch fork
What AI witch we are gonna burn?? Yeeehaaa!
Even more is upsetting the fact this is a constant problem for fucking dumb memes, just enjoy the punchlines ffs, can't go in the comment sections without reading a bunch of you guys from .world starting to rant at pictures
They scissor
I'm pretty sure they stick it to each other...
Chopsticks clearly do fork things. I see them as a more specialized fork since they blunt-cut worse than a fork, and you have even higher viscosity requirements for scooping stuff, but for manipulation they beat forks.
A single chopstick is however useless, so clearly they each are half a fork.
So you're saying it takes two to fork
He's saying a fork is actually an evolutionary fusion of the chopstick, kinda like the pokemon dugtrio and diglett.
Personally I don't really care if it is or isn't. The message and idea is good and I don't expect AI to have come up with that
not sure if AI slop
So its not then?
Who cares? It's funny.
well, it's a repost, and i don't think slop gets reposted because it's not good enough
This community has had people redrawing (badly) AI content and reposting it.
Beautiful.
