Because they are
“No corporations were enriched by the creation of this content”
It’s not just that. If it was, I’d have been convinced by the new-era freedom fighters using fucking ai horde, or whatever sloppers call their latest open-source [citation needed] model instance.
The biggest issue is the shameless, continuous abuse of creative workers by sucking up all their works without consent.
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.
that implies it’s the corporations that make art. the idea of art coming from corps is already a gross injustice to artists, but at least they can get paid a little. to take away what they do entirely for something that literally only remixes existing art from past and present artists is one of the darkest things we’re coming to accept in our late stage capitalist society.
we simply do not want artists anymore. we’d rather the machines preform every task that’s worth doing so that we can all go slave away at manual labor as human labor continues to get cheaper than machines.
I’ll take your shittiest MS Paint meme over your finest AI design.
I want the human element! I’m not relating to a machine. I want something made by another ghost in a meat suit.

👑Memes hand drawn in crayon
GIMP is not low effort. If you can ‘quickly assemble’ memes, it’s because of previous effort. (I’m studying to be someone who can quickly assemble memes in GIMP)
That program has a unique UI philosophy. Does it resemble Photoshop? I’ve never used that.
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.
GIMP feels like it’s still in the stage of being extremely powerful but awkward as heck to wield, like Blender used to be. Blender used to have a pretty unintuitive interface before getting a massive overhaul a few years back. GIMP could use a similar facelift IMO.
Drag never got truly proficient with Photoshop. Drag took a class on Photoshop in high school and did well, but then forgot everything. The workflows never became natural.
Drag has made dozens of memes in GIMP and really understands the design philosophy. It feels simple and intuitive. Drag wouldn’t want them to change everything and make it like Photoshop. Then drag would have to learn it all over again. No thanks.
Different apps should just be different apps. The goal isn’t to get every system to have the same UI. There should be room for creativity and thinking differently in the design space.
Gimp 3.0 is finally actually something you could use to make something quickly
It still makes some baffling decisions (seriously I fucking hate that deselect is CTRL+SHIFT+D and not CTRL+D. I get why, shift is the “opposite” modifier, but GIMP is the only software I use that does this) and isn’t perfect, but for meme making and general Internet use it’s probably at long-last ready
Memes quickly assembled in Gimp should be sitting on a throne considering the skills required
Because we are better than you.
Invincible is pretty good for this.
You forgot the biggest one:

Memetic is actually pretty solid

Sometimes I use reaction gifs.
Also sometimes I use a photo editor on my phone.
I sometimes will get a bunch of people to help gaslight someone else that they don’t exist
I asked ChatGPT to make a cutting edge, unique, creative, evolutionary meme that appeals to Gen Z and…this is what it did.
Ew.
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.
Capybara are extremely popular the past few years.
i wouldn’t consider it an inherently LLM issue, given how many animal cartoons we have who also wear headphones where human ears would be.
it’s such a human error
LLM? I would’ve thought they’d use an image generation model for this rather than a language model. But yeah, it just does approximations without a lot of reasoning.
Yeah good catch, I used the completely wrong word there.
There’s a TikTok sound/song about capybaras, and videos of them are fairly popular.
Ok ok, I admit that I chuckled at “I identify as wifi”
I honestly like this… I feel like this still fits into the good old-fashioned fun of the humour of e.g. aiweirdness.com
I use “photo editor” on android. Free, no frills, no ad’s, works decently. It has a lot of cool features. I just wish the layering was better.
Every single other free photo editor was bullshit.

Pretty strong reaction to the equivalent of a paint mixer for text…
AI needs to be treated with calm patience. It needs to be contained and observed so we can realise its potential in a safe, contained environment. Instead we’re immediately using it to replace what the wealthy don’t have and can never possess. Born-in talent. Artistry, humour. It’s what you can’t buy. It makes the people capable of creativity high value. And we can’t have that, can we?
The crayon scribbles of my 3 year old nephew on the back of a soggy napkin holds more value than a mountain of AI slop.
