If the photo is real, someone doing this is ridiculous, the effort is commendable and the comparison to a normal person is so stark that it’s funny. If the photo isn’t real, no one did this, there’s no comparison to the normal person because there’s no one actually doing it, and I feel robbed of that funny feeling I should feel if it were real. Thus, learning that some funny picture isn’t real infuriates me.
It isn’t the image that’s funny, it’s the reality the one on the picture or the ones taking it are trying to convey with their work. In an AI image, that’s robbed. Mind you, a Photoshopped image where the ship is done secretively, not in a clearly conveyed joke or obvious shop, is also infuriating.
I mean I loved that twitter dude that shopped people’s requests intentionally wrong with incredible skill. There it was obvious given the context, and what they shopped was incredibly funny given the requests.
This photo is from 2018
Maybe not the right discussion for the shit post community
This is why I hate Lemmy. People are so obsessed about pedantic posting rules all we get is news links.
This is the exact place

though if a shop is high-effort enough this might make it interesting again, whereas ai-generated content is always low-effort
