A bit jarring, even for those of us jaded by trump memes.

History is rhyming again. Can we just skip ahead to the 5 good emperors? If we follow the pattern, even with "Nero" gone, it's a bit of a rough spot until we get there. I'd just as soon skip that part.

stolen images.

Whoever created it is probably liberal. They don't have to be, since creating something like this takes close to zero effort, and they might be creating memes ridiculing Democrats, too, just to draw attention to their AI-generated fake art.

Do you know who created it?

that didn't allow the image to be copied, so I did a "search by image" with goggle and had a
number of hits on twitter and just picked out one of the larger images from there.
Retraced my steps, believe it's this one, I remembered they said " "Does this toga make my gluteus look maximus?"… Yes, and your morality, IQ & grasp on reality miniscule." and this one does.

like some I've seen.

It's still just one of what are likely countless images of Trump golfing while the country burns, since there have been countless text posts making that comparison. Unfortunately, some AI users seem to feel every comment of any type about any famous person absolutely demands that they personally generate an AI image to go with it. As if no one can understand any point with mere text, and they need an image - that particular AI user's image.

Btw, I noticed the person with that Twitter account is an author who posts a LOT of AI slop, which is unethical and very foolish of her. She divides her time between Australia and the UK

https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-and-relationships/i-spend-half-my-time-in-the-uk-but-this-is-why-i-ll-always-call-australia-home-20241023-p5kkqj.html

and likes to opine about all sorts of things - and she has championed some important causes - but as far as I can tell by searching has NEVER said anything about AI or ChatGPT or intellectual property theft, all of which have made the news a lot in both the UK and Australia.

I doubt she'd be very happy about AI churning out imitations of her novels. Or about AI bros convincing governments to get rid of intellectual property laws completely, as Elon Musk and others have suggested.

I don't believe for one second that she's unaware of creatives battling for their existence, with that front page news at times.

She should be standing with other writers and artists of all types against AI.

And she shouldn't be posting AI slop.

showed up. See the tweet below and the replies.





Most of these appear to be responses to Trump going golfing when the markets were in free fall early last month. Here's another...and of course there are lots of posts just making the comparison verbally instead of wasting energy and water generating AI slop.
