I don't want to throw out baseless accusations, but my gut tells me that this image is AI generated.

Look at the snowflakes on the bottom corners, and the one on the vest. The letter kerning is inconsistent too. There is also a dot on the skeleton's forehead. Methinks it's AI...

......and? It's not any worse than using any meme template.

Reduce, reuse, recycle applies to digital content as well. When you can, just use a meme template.

Meme responsibly.

I'm on the fence about this too. If Ai images have been good for anything it's amusing 30-second shitposting and not actual artwork. Although I think vintage hand-made memes have more cultural value overall.

That being said, if you're gonna image-gen, I think it should be done on local hardware rather than spamming downtown-sized super-mega-data-centers using up an entire county's water supply to cool servers generating surreal Spongebob horror.

My 2¢ anyway.

Honestly it’s not bad for AI

Right, did a great job with the fingers, and only part that makes me suspicious is the quality of snowflake on the sweater

It was the text that put me off at first.

When it comes to AI, today is the worst it will ever be

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And it's only going to get worse each year forward.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well it's good to have something to look forward to

[–] errer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

And good to have a year to look back on fondly! Haha remember 2024? Such a good year………….

This reminds me of all the memes about what a terrible year 2016 was despite us knowing it was going to get much worse. Now it's going to be MUCH MUCH worse than even that.

"Man these terrible year memes show up every time trump gets elected."

"W..wait....E..every time? 😨"

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

The 2020 ones had real merit, at least.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

The 2024 season had a hell of a plot twist and good setup on the cliffhanger for the season 2025 premier

Writers better not drop the ball for season 2025

No that’s considered sexual assault in some places.
