    The thing about a new technology is that once it exists, it never un-exists.

    AI is here. It’s never going away. Ever.

    There are all sorts of actual concerning issues about AI that need to be taken extremely seriously. Personally, I could care less if it gets used to generate memes. It’s not like memes are meant to look like actual, real situations that could trick people into thinking something that didn’t happen did or vice versa. It’s clearly for a laugh. It’s not putting “meme artists” out of business because there is no industry for memes where people are putting their memes in meme galleries that people buy tickets to.

    Getting mad over AI generated memes specifically just seems like a waste of energy. Like you’re trying to find something to be mad about.

  • Right?

    I’m constantly amazed how many foreigners are aware of what’s going on in US politics and even details about how our government works.

    1. It shows how much our shitty politics affect the world. I’m sorry.

    2. It highlights how bad Americans are at paying attention and doing their homework because most Americans have no fucking clue what’s going on or how their own government works.

    To be fair, I’m barely aware of what’s going on in other nation’s politics, but that’s largely because I’m hyper aware of what’s going on in U.S. politics and, unfortunately, that takes up a lot of my time and patience and sanity.
