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
The font stands out, too.
Also this in another post from the same guy.
DO YOU WANT US TO SET UP YOUR BACKUP NOW OR ASK AGAIN IN 3 DAYS?
*onedrive
The AI Generated anti AI Meme.
Also, the example has nothing to do with updating or not.
What makes you think, that this is AI
What's with the random comma? It makes absolutely no sense. And then you decided to not use a question mark, both those things are just so odd. And HOW do you not see that it's an AI generated image? This whole comment section is about how obvious it is, with many examples why. It almost feels like your comment is some rage bait shit.
The typical Font, the typical drawing style
It is generally
- not a known meme template
- not a βnormalβ 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.
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 βAI vs no need to updateβ 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
GrapheneOS forcing updates by default :(
If you don't want a secure OS, you can at any time just install Linaege
Forcing updates is horrible regardless of the reason
You must be too young to remember the months out of date mess that was the typical Windows system back in the XP days. Forget βI donβt have the latest service packβ it was more βI am still vulnerable to a two year old βzero dayβ!β
I think a big reason for wanacy was also unpatched computers in corporate. Still it sucks that MS cannot be a good steward and chooses to keep a hostile attitude to its users in many regards.
Why is the image 5MB?
AI slop
-ominus chord plays- SElinux: βhey guys!β -wilhelm scream-
Moved to CachyOS. Most things just worked. "update" is literally an alias that updates your OS and packages. Once had a bad update, snapshot rolled me back into action within 3 minutes.
With Windows that could warrant a reinstall/reimage if it's bad enough. Fucking wild.
The irony that the meme has multiple popups about AI being bad while the entire meme is AI-generated.

What OS do I need to avoid AI sloppers? No one is interested in your mediocre auto generated garbage.

Ha! As if Ubuntu didnt update on its own and then completely killed my internet access because it changed the file system of how it stores DNS but didnt somehow do it right to the point of me spending 3 hours figuring out what file I had to recreate and why to get it working again.
Linux is cool but not this make believe version of cool.
