      I agree. Can’t quite put my finger on it… maybe the window behind the monitor? I try not to assume simply because of the style, but the lack of author credit makes it hard to check anyway.The weird thing is it wouldn’t at all be hard to draw by hand.

      Edit: I like all the different answers. It feels like a new, unfortunate version of the “find the differences” game.

    The AI Generated anti AI Meme.

    Also, the example has nothing to do with updating or not.

        The typical Font, the typical drawing style

        It is generally

        • not a known meme template
        • not a „normal” font style like impact, used by most no effort memes

        –> pretty big effort

        • maybe artist?

        –> no Mark, not known like xkcd, pizzacake, cyanide and happiness (which would have been most likely)

        • pretty typical AI font style, weird curly but at the same time straight font
        • also the outlines remind me really much of AI slop
        • If anyone might have drawn it, the monitor and desk would have stayed the same. If they wanted to do it in a more obvious way that these are 2 different people, they would have added more of a color and/or person differentiation with clothing or other desks. Instead the image is copied and pasted 95%, except for small, usually not noticable changes like the corners of the image. This is generally how AI images look using the same input, only having the random parameters that are usually inserted into the image generator change.

        Example: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages7.memedroid.com%2Fimages%2FUPLOADED376%2F682890dbbb792.jpeg&f=1&ipt=3032bec4888b9d3ab4e463817228193fbafadfae16e936ada2a07d16a760bf4f

        Its literally the same line thickness

        Also, random notes: Thought bubble looks really like AI, nonsense Terminal commands consisting of a mix of Ubuntu/Debian default bash and sh??? (sh usually only has a $)

        The template „AI vs no need to update” generally has nothing to do with each other, and is generally just the stuff regurgitated by just about every YouTube channel by now; unlike most Linux users memes, which ranges generally in more niche topics

        • Windows AI, Forced updates
        • Linux no AI, Terminal, Debian commands

        Also, as https://lemmy.world/comment/21278707 @AeonFelis has pointed out, the image is 5mb big.

        Also, a resolution of 2816x1536 is not normal

        Almost just like it is not normal for such an image not to be tagged by your Graphics Program that you used to make it

        TL;DR: this is what happens if you ask grok to make a Meme about Linux and windows from the meaning depth to the weird art

        Check out the other great dissection

        https://lemmy.world/comment/21275322

        And the fact you are even denying it, yet posting the most obvious slop, makes it even funnier

        Might add to it later, but I think if you already read this, you might as well look at the PIC and my example and decide for yourself

        Help me out here whippersnapper, all I can see that is suspicious is the coffee cup and grey note next to it, but everything else looks clean

          For me it’s the text (too regular and perfectly-ruled to be hand lettered, but too much variance between the letterforms to be a font) and the little AI artifact on the random doohickey directly under the bottom left corner of the AI computer monitor: Random doohickey.

          Aside from that, it’s just the weight of unmotivated choices. Why is the “good” side of the image grayscale while the “bad” side is in color (a human probably would’ve done it the other way)? Why are the desks drawn slightly differently while the person, chair, and computer are drawn the same (a human would’ve probably made everything identical to better illustrate their point)? Why all the random clutter on one but not the other (if the point was to make the AI computing experience look scattered and cluttered, surely they would’ve made it more overwhelmingly cluttered, but if it was for verisimilitude they’d have put clutter on both desks)? Also, subjectively, the “AI” logo on the screen suggests a pleasant experience, not an oppressive one.

          An unmotivated choice on its own isn’t necessarily an AI calling card, but enough of them together alongside one or two smoking guns can definitely make the case pretty strongly.

      Its obviously AI

      Apart from my comment, here’s the tldr:

      The outlines, the thought bubbles, the general senselessness of the meme and it not being tied to anything Linux users normally do, instead being based on stereotypical stuff regurgitated by most youtubers now

      Also the Terminal on the left is just nonsense

      Check out the daily slop of Eli the Computer guy, the thumbnails are all AI slop and generally you can really see the parallels once you look at those vs this image
