Why was the penguin AI-ed in?
I feel like "This could have been a photoshop" is going to be the "this could have been a meeting" for AI.
Ignore the AI tools in photoshop, every photoshop version after CS6 isn't real.
you guys are using photoshop to make memes?

"This could have been a gimp" sends the wrong message to most people.
Most of the people here would read it and not skip a beat.
Photoshop is also a verb, has been for decades actually, meaning a use of photo editing software in general.
Also saying you GIMPed something just doesn’t feel right
Fuck that, I love my gimp
Bring out the GIMP.
You fuckin' with me, you fuckin′ with a G.I.M.P
Yes and maybe we shouldn’t continue this verbal standardization of Adobe products. Make people realize there are valid alternatives so they stop giving this corporation a shitload of money
It's also how genericization happens, which can nullify trademarks.
GIMP mentioned!
Oh God quickly disperse before gimp gang pulls up
Don't worry. Ask them to draw a circle so we can escape.
(It says green pepper in angle brackets but some clients are trying to interpret that as markup tags)
lol, my frontend (mlmym) interprets it as an html tag and decides to show nothing (only
<!-- raw HTML omitted -->)?
It's a built-in Gimp texture. It's like the monkey face in Blender. If you see the green pepper in an image, you know the image was made in the Gimp. It's like a cheeky signature/nod.
Because like so much of the IT field, most go for the easier thing to do and don't have or are losing the skills to do these things themselves. A good photoshop is a rarity now, and often will get called AI slop because of it being good, so they don't.
I always do this the shittiest way possible to show how low effort the shitpost is.
Usually that’s a screenshot of a meme generator (so it doesn’t include watermark) or some poorly pasted impact text added on my phone.
Why the fuck have I never thought of that?
How do you know it was not AI-ed out of the original?
This would have made the photoshoot even more interesting than it probably was.
Memevolution
The entire image is AI.
edit: Just look at it, it's obvious. Look at the bottom left corner, shirt merging into a bare leg
Hey! They spent almost 30 minutes in Krita merging the shirt into the leg.
Yeah I'm trying to figure out if the downvotes are because people don't believe it's an AI image. How is it not obvious. Compare it to the original meme to see all the differences.
