OP: Next time you make a meme about a political issue, don’t use a blatant AI-generated photo. There are plenty of real photos you could have used.
Everyone, look at that kid’s hands: there are three fingers on the left hand and five on the right, not counting thumbs respectively. And look at the weird creamy way the kid’s skin looks: no evidence of pores or extremely fine hairs everywhere. That’s AI where it does not belong, friends.
You should care if you care about the future of this country. That’s blatant propaganda. There’s nothing stopping someone from generating AI images of police murdering an innocent Black person, or of a politician groping somebody, or all kinds of nefarious shit.
But you know, who cares about the truth as long as the meme tells you something you want to hear, right? Who cares if they can be used to spread dangerous misinformation that could swing an election in a fascist’s favor or convince Americans to use violence at an inappropriate time? Who cares, right?
I think what bucketofpuppies is trying to say is memes aren’t based on real shit. It’s just some AI image of a random-ass kid…shrugging. It doesn’t matter if it’s real or not, because it’s a “person”, shrugging, with text put on top.
No one here has generated a picture of cops shooting people, or people shooting cops, or mothers eating babies…it’s just a shrugging kid. It’s a meme. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It doesn’t matter. It’s a politically charged meme telling people to express a certain opinion passing off a fake AI-generated photo of a kid as a real one to convince people to accept its message, and it’s working.
Even when you’re being told the truth about the meme, you’re rejecting it.
The reason memes work is because they use either real photos that people collectively decide are suitable representations of certain emotions, situations or opinions, or obvious artwork. Not hyper-realistic fakes passed off as real photos.
And people listen to and are influenced by memes. That means people shouldn’t be using AI-generated fake bullshit in them. It’s too easy to lie to everyone and convince most people to believe it.
It’s too dangerous and people need to reject it now, before it’s too late and people are passing off even more politically charged shit.
As an avid republican myself, I don’t know what this is about. We don’t even have 7 million children in this country. But Australia should not be ruled by the monarchy.

Oh no. What will he do without a block of cheese and milk.
7 million children benefit from WIC, including getting formula to newborns. So what will he do without formula? Die, I suppose.
Think of the children… Will somebody please think of the children
Why do you types all sound the same?
Sarcastic, egocentric, emotionally bankrupt and morally repugnant and fucking proud of it like having a low IQ/EQ is some sort of accomplishment.
You mad?
No.
You literate?
Yes

Who cares? It’s not like they were about to pay an artist for this meme in the first place.

Is this satire?
Nothing says “we care about kids” quite like using AI images of kids for your articles so you don’t have to pay them.
This is totes an actually super real picture, but I do feel bad for this kid. He’s lost a finger on one hand and regrown it on the other.
I keep wondering if it is possible to get a class-action lawsuit together
