Not sure if this is AI. If so, then it is an example that AI content need not always be bad.
But it is on who owns it and uses it for what. Collective control over AI, directing it for the benefit of the people would be good.
Edit
Anyway, since this is causing discussion: Anyone with the meme making skills see a non-AI version of this? Or anyone who has the skills to do that? Or anyone who can share the tutorials to easily/quickly learn how to do that?
„Not sure if this is AI”
This is ai and it's pretty bad lol
Yes its AI
But you know what? That damn first panel (a version of it that isn't garbled by a bot, anyway) has been floating around forever. Getting a narrative arc to properly finish the point is... so very gratifying.
Really awkward formatting. Someone def made this in AI and then clumsily collaged them together.
As for the "tool neutral, usage good" argument, I think of it like Operation Paperclip or Unit 731. Be damned sure the juice is worth the squeeze.
You know it's slop and you posted it anyway?
This is the best use for AI image generators imo: throwaway meme slop that isn't really supposed to look very good, wouldn't have been made otherwise, doesn't make any money off of other people's labor, and did not take away a labor opportunity/labor power from anyone. It's not like the AI companies are making money off of this, not even close, they're all bleeding to death.
Oh it's wasting water and electricity? The water and electricity were already wasted by training, you can't un-waste the water or electricity. In fact, if you refuse to use the AI model they trained then the water and electricity were wasted for nothing!
Oh it's plagiarism? Oh not precious property rights, I didn't realize we were fucking capitalists protecting the sanctity of copyright.
It’s not an example of AI usage being good, on account of it’s soulless garbage slop with unbalanced pacing, which adds nothing to the original strip that it was stolen from
I mean the hard hat turning into a baseball hat shows it's clearly AI lmao
Ai bring controlled collective doesn't change shit about its insane and damaging water usage.
Just make a shitty meme instead of offloading the work to ai so it can make a shittier meme. I'd much rather people make crappy stick person comics in paint than someone waste resources and time waiting for ai slop to be churned out that doesn't come close to being creative or coherent.
the construction worker's left hand is a right hand in the third panel. he may want to see a doctor
It's ai and tree died for this
