*I didn't make this meme and somehow I didn't notice the original was AI. Swapped out with a different image of sailors instead.

I hate how much ai slop I'm seeing everywhere lately.

This wasn't my OC, and I'm embarrassed that I didn't notice the original image was AI - just thought it was poor quality. I've edited the meme to swap out a real painting of sailors.

It is also so extremely pointless. There are dozens of real artworks that look basically the same (just look at the top pictures for googling "discovery of america" or "christopher columbus"). All of them could have been used instead for the meme.

Thousands of pieces of actual art depicting exactly this and you used AI slop. Way to go.
