Is the humor because the image appears to be created via AI?

So we're complaining about AI via an AI generated image? 🙄
I was complaining about copilot specifically, which is an embarrassingly terrible product
Fuck off with that AI shit.
Not sure why saying copilot sucks means all AI sucks.
You're right, it doesn't mean that. But they do all suck.
Can you please explain the issue with using AI to create a simple meme?
Well, for this meme specifically, because it's a waste of water and electricity to "create" a meme that already exists.
Well that is a very good point!
so brave
Woah, the AI turned the Soviet upstanding g young gentleman into Ryan gosling
but why
Yeah I have no idea, but you see this sometimes where it sorta morphs a face towards some celebrity. Probably the original looked enough limestone and there were shit tons of gosling in its training data?
Interesting, but that leads to a more fundamental query. Why was genAI involved at all? This could easily have been made using the original poster.
Yes I wondered that also, it would make the meme better and be less distracting haha.
The master's tools....
Co-pilot doesn't get served by Microsoft.
It gets rammed through your throat,
in your sleep,
right after you're born.
Stop praising their products by pretending that they're less bad than they really are.
