Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
I posted this yesterday in LemmyShitpost
Honest to god thought it was a horse barfing in a convenience store. Then someone pointed out that horses can't puke.
The jpegification and motion blur did a lot of heavy lifting. None of the shit in the background makes any sense. Back legs also look kinda weird.
Aw fuck, I have to admit it got me too...
Are those gaspumps in the convenience store?
I thought maybe a coffee dispenser, or an ATM repeating itself... It could conceivably be anything!
How else you gonna fill up your horse?
I would have assumed it was a simple image edit/photoshop job for meme purposes. That's what it looks to me anyway.
But I'm not going to zoom in too much because, AI or not, fake or not, it's giving me nausea!
I saw that and didn't know horses can't puke, but thought it was fake but because the parking lot was empty of lights, paint stripes for parking, bollards, etc. it's a vacuum behind the horse.
It's just dark
You mean you've never stopped at a convenience store while traveling through the infinite dark void?
I like the sliding glass door
At least it was incredibly fucking funny.
In German there is this kinda obscure phrase „Pferde vor der Apotheke kotzen sehen“, which translates to „seeing horses puke in front of the pharmacy“ used to denote something highly unlikely, because horses can’t puke and especially in front of a pharmacy where they could get something against their nausea.
I don't even think the back legs look too weird. One of the things I've found when trying to spot AI is that often actual images look weird like this just because of the angle / compression etc.
Ai images are shitposts by nature, they're the least amount of effort you can put into it.
Don't worry the other apps are still full of them, and my boss still uses them for every department meeting.
In my company's presentation template, they have an AI-generated image of the inside of a cathedral, with one of our products placed on the ground and then a component of that product in much larger size is floating in the air. And then there's a woman in spiritual clothing looking up to that component, like it's some sort of god.
I do have many questions, but the main one is: What the fuck?
NGL that sounds pretty hilarious, I'd like to see that.
Seconded
Thirded
EDIT: I don't know the Lemmy rules actually - maybe seconding a motion is enough to set it into action
The second normally brings it to a vote. So … all those in favor?
… Aye.
The upvotes have it!
That's pretty fuckin funny man, are you sure the art boys aren't self aware?
Gotta ask, does it look like your product/ the component were part of the prompt, or were they added in post?
It was added in post, I'm pretty sure. The product itself, it might've been able to generate, but wouldn't have nailed all the details. And the component, there's just no way it would have enough training data, nor would training data contain the name of that component.
I see. I think that makes it better, honestly
The OP didn't say lemmy doesn't have recent AI-generated images.
The implication appears to be that OP stopped noticing them and therefore they must be impossible to tell from the real thing anymore.
One of Elon Musk's ex
Or Elmex.
Elmex sounds like the localized version of Elmo for the Mexican market.
Elmex is a toothpaste
As someone who's 40, and have only seen 2 animes, I have to pat myself on the back for knowing exactly where the source images came from. In retrospect teenage me watched some weird shit.
I mean GTO was (and is still) pretty amazing.
My memory of it was that a 25 year old gang member decided to become a substitute teacher at a high school for the sole purpose of perving on 16 year olds in high school. Somehow he got transfered to being a full time teacher in middle school, and he had to rescue one of his 12 year old students from making underage porn to support her family, despite being very VERY against doing so morally. Then he swoops in to kick everybodies ass for making child porn.
I also remember they had a running gag of doing this creepy smile thing. Everytime anyone did it, I always got creeped out. And somehow NONE of this raised alarms with me as a teenager, but adult me is like "Wow, in retrospect, that show was pretty fucked up."
I mean it definitely couldn’t be made nowadays, but I did think it was kind of interesting because it focused on outcasts and the very real sorts of awful situations people like that might have gotten into that the rest of society just kind of refuses to even acknowledge.
But yeah it is undercut a bit by the whole weird pedo thing Japan still has going on to this day.
every single time I see ai generated garbage I block the posting community. it's helped lol
Same lol, massively improved my time on the internet in general
Same. I did it with all the "moe" communities as well, really cut down the spam when browsing.
Reality was fun while it lasted.
There have been a lot of black and white photos of outlandish inventions and alleged WWII experimental weapons that I had never seen before the advent of AI, and I find that more than just a little... fishy.
did you block the genai lemmy communities
I sure as hell did with how many of them popped up
Makes you wonder how long it'll be until even the worst AI images are indistinguishable from human-produced images
