    Who cares? It’s not like they were about to pay an artist for this meme in the first place.

        You’re blabbering about nothing

        Not the content of the meme or the message, your upset that it’d an AI generated kid instead of a real one and clearly that’s gonna lead to the downfall of America.

        Your post is blatant anti AI propaganda! You just want to exploit children for memes! See how stupid that is? That’s you.

        I think what bucketofpuppies is trying to say is memes aren’t based on real shit. It’s just some AI image of a random-ass kid…shrugging. It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not, because it’s a “person”, shrugging, with text put on top.

        No one here has generated a picture of cops shooting people, or people shooting cops, or mothers eating babies…it’s just a shrugging kid. It’s a meme. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            I can tell you care, but counterpoint: what if a genuine image of a sad, shrugging minority child was used instead? And this exact text was put over that? Genuine child, used to make a meme…does that really change anything, anything at all? This is, as you say, artwork but kicked up a few levels. A lot of levels, as you say, hyper-realistic.

            Memes are not messages from the meme format to the viewer; it is merely a picture. Artwork. I can make angry & happy faces, and you can put text all over them. “I love Biden!”. “Birds aren’t real 😡” True subject material (my face), false message. My face being used doesn’t make the message any more or less real.

            Now if I were to AI render Trump having buttsex with Biden, hyper realistic, and I were to lie to you & tell you this totally happened & it’s real. Okay, now I am actively engaging in a lie. I am using AI to destroy the truth, like cops shooting black kids or something. That’s an entirely different matter, man.

                You can’t unexist it. You have to adapt.

                What’s your endgame? Make AI images illegal and uncommon?

                That would make them more powerful, because people wouldn’t expect them, but the creation of AI images is still totally possible. It’s better to just call out its usage as lame, and aside from that, to adjust your thinking to acknowledge the lack of certainty you (and we all) now have about digital visual data.

        Wtf are you talking about? The use of AI image generation in this meme has absolutely nothing to do with the “truth” you are blubbering on about.

        the fuck are you on? And why do Americans always assume everybody on the internet is American?

        You talk about gruesome AI generated images when the photo here is just a kid, get a grip on yourself.
