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’.
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?

Slop isn’t funny, is the thing
Keep drawing. That cat is beautiful.
My cat drew it!
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.
