If you’re so anti-AI pilled that you can’t enjoy comedy because you can’t purity check it for AI then you should probably touch grass.
If you’re on Lemmy you don’t need to worry about that.
Uncs still spreading 10 year old memes like they’re fresh.
Look here jit, if you don’t want old folks jokes don’t go to old folks places.
Me seeing this

Me reading the comments:
It sucks how this is a valid concern about a meme about ai
Dude it’s with everything, the fucking thought is always in the back of the mind, it’s annoying as fuck…
I hate all the AI ‘enhancement’ of old cartoon memes. I don’t need Bugs Bunny to be unnaturally smooth, you’re killing the fucking art that went into painting those old animation cels!
Ah, a true meme sommelier! As a shitpost epicurean we often don’t see eye to eye and this is one of those cases.
I find the smoothness to be an important feature for when I retire some day and work as a professional curator of low-effort-arts, as it will allow me to date the meme. It’s much easier than compression dating, which gives a rough estimate of reposts-over-time.
If the meme is funny, does it matter?
It doesn’t to anybody who actually enjoys comedy.
Imagine being so social media brained that you can’t laugh at a meme without purity checking yourself.
Yes.
It matters as much as how many child workers made our phones, or how many rivers were polluted so we can have cheap plastics.
In theory, yes. In practicality, probably not, unfortunately.
No, but don’t get caught saying that on Lemmy.
Are you willing to discuss on the “why” behind it?
It’s a hypothetical joke. It is axiomatic that it is funny, that’s established in the premise… there is no ‘why’.
If someone wants to try to argue that objectively funny joke isn’t funny because of the reader’s anxiety that they may accidentality be laughing at something made by AI then they’re welcome to try.
Keep in mind that the meme isn’t ‘It IS AI so it isnt’ funny’ the meme is ‘It is funny but I can’t laugh because AI exists’.
Slop isn’t funny, is the thing


Keep drawing. That cat is beautiful.
You’re beautiful
That shadow is unrealistic and the back of the feline is clearly sloping towards what the AI thought was a 5th leg.

Merry has no concept of space, this was a self portrait.
My apologies. I should have leaned a little harder into the joke that everything is AI suspect now. It’s hard to convey sarcasm over the internet.
Beep boop, I mean “meow”
Yes it does, I want my shitposts to be 100% human made.
Yes.
