You’re choosing to misinterpret what I said entirely, I did not say that every human made meme is high effort.

But for a human artist to make an equivalent piece of artwork to what you’ve produced with A.I here, that takes a lot more time and effort, which by itself makes it funnier due to the absurd and amusing meta narrative of someone painstakingly recreating Samuel L Jackson’s image by hand just for a joke.

And I can tell you with certainty that when people make memes that obviously have more effort put into them, it does go noticed and it does add to the humor. Humor is subjective, sure, but there is a reason why “High quality Shitpost” as a term exists. Don’t act like this is only something new being used to stigmatize A.I.

I know I can’t convince you, but I do hope you at least ponder over the idea.

I guess the best way to explain would be the concept and distinction between a regular “shitpost” and a “High quality shitpost”. It is not solely about the final product, what adds to the charm of a human being creating a highly convincing, detailed artistic rendition of Samuel L Jackson as Vladimir Lenin, is the very knowledge that someone was willing to sit there and devote hours, perhaps days, and even money, art supplies and energy to painstakingly produce something that is merely meant to be a joke to illicit amusement among a niche online community.

When instead you see these images and know that it’s the result of running prompts through an image generator until it produces a handful of passable results, and the most amount of human effort involved is likely spent in just curating the best results, this element of “damn, they actually did all this for a meaningless meme” no longer applies, and the charm is definitely diminished.

I hope I’m putting this across in a way that makes sense.

To each their own of course. I found it funny myself, and then seeing that theres like 5 more that look the same just conjured up the content mill flashbacks in my head and soured the mood altogether.

Zionism is the Typhoid Mary of anti-Semitism.

That thread was your justification for using AI to make artwork, I don’t disagree overall. I just don’t think AI generated propaganda is effective for this sort of thing. Maybe to articulate some basic idea you could get away with it, but as artistic propaganda such as this, it just comes across as bland, like most A.I generated content that the average person has to contend with while using the modern internet. We should try and stand out from the content churn, not try and blend in with it.

Idk if this is even accurate, it seems more like they pay lip service to the global south, while materially always siding with the global north.

You can safely assume if it’s posted by yogthos it’s likely A.I. They’ve convinced themselves that it’s effective agitprop.

Average Indian “netizens”

I gotta side with Belgium in this, at least half of their cuisine is actual food.

This feels like some sort of deliberate escalation. I suspect that the Indian government knew about the attack in advance and let it happen, in order to facilitate an October 7-esque justification to further antagonize Pakistan and crack down and terrorize occupied Kashmir.

Shitty AI artwork

He was reasonable on not just Ukraine but also the Middle East, that is until his house was raided by the US intelligence agencies shortly before the US elections last year, and ever since then he’s suddenly turned into a government narrative parrot. I’d put money on him being compromised, they probably either found or planted something on his hard drives and he’s very incentivized to not get uppity.

Extremely overhyping India’s military capabilities, in every skirmish with Chinese troops they have repeatedly lost over the past decades. Their equipment is also bizarrely sourced, half from NATO and half from Russia, meaning theres low equipment standardization and precarity in the event that they piss off either bloc. India is completely insignificant militarily, and heavily economically reliant on both China, and the US. And in any scenario where they fight a conventional war with China, they will lose, and in the event of a nuclear war, nobody wins anyways.
