@metaphil well now I want one of those as my avatar
@metaphil With ease and calculated certainty I've came consider this creation came from AI.
@metaphil if you add alt text, it is not stealing, it's transformative, under the rules of copyright.
@metaphil gives me wild gruvbox vibes somehow. Love this.
@metaphil just fyi, I had a large assumption that this was an AI image and it seems like SightEngine agrees. So maybe add a disclaimer that it's AI
@thibaultmol @metaphil You mean Doom Guy wasn't on a Zoom call?!

@RobertoOtarola @metaphil

This needs to be the self-mirror view in a corner of the screen :'D

@RobertoOtarola @metaphil

Oh, didn't realise this was a GIF macro.

Still:

#DOOM #ZOOM

@metaphil at least it's not on Teams.

@DuncanMSussex @metaphil

Of course it's not teams; ever seen the doom slayer work with someone against the demons?

@metaphil Some replies complaining that it’s AI. Not an AI fan at all, but this feels like an appropriate use-case. Someone had an idea for a joke that required some art to really sell and likely didn’t have the art skill themselves to pull off. Pretty low stakes
@wdavery @metaphil I miss the time when people expressed themself with MS Paint if necessary. So much human-made authentic fun art. That's how memes used to be. All gone. This new Ai generated slop is just the same boring shit.

@wdavery @metaphil sadly this is exactly not an appropriate use case, because if you're participating in the "burning down the planet party," I'd like to see a high-stakes justification, not a low-stakes one.

Plus, accepting AI memes is exactly how you completely devalue artistic skill putting you on a path towards a future where only AI "art" exists. Another thing that's not worth a fun meme. Could have drawn this in Paint for the same laugh value.

@tiotasram I can really appreciate your points there. Thanks for that perspective.

Certainly agree that if we are using AI it should be fully justified.

@metaphil can't believe so many people are upset about an ai generated image.
@metaphil I love this way too much.
