Meme Monday!

Today's cover image comes from last week's thread.

DEV is an inclusive space! Humor in poor taste will be downvoted by mods.

Today's comiCSS:

comic with two panels. In the first one, a ghost says Remember: if you don't want to end up a ghost like me, don't abandon anything halfway or leave unfinished projects behind! In the second panel, two people with a DEV tag say 'Oh fuck!'

I'd rather do her job - two people, one opinion, as the same verbatim thought of a barista wearing an apron standing in front of her professional coffee machine, smiling, and a freelance worker sitting next to the barista at a cafe table, pointing at hear head and looking at the laptop in front of her. A coffee cup is standing on the table. There is a sign on the wall that says coffee in a typography with a line across the letter o so that it can also be read as the hex color code c0ffee.

Here's another ChatGPT-generated meme, visually inspired by stock photography, based on a joke I must have heard in a coworking cafe. I added a little subtle detail for front-end developers. Guess what it is?

Does AI think laptops are flip phones? I don't need to see notifications when I close my laptop.

Is the joke that the developer is using a table for alignment?

Oh, that might be as well, but my detail was just the diagonally stroked "0" instead of the letter "O" in the "C0ffee" sign on the wall!

Today's AI comedy showdown based on the joke from the cover

Gemini

ChatGPT

These are both pretty terrible. Gemini is cohesive just unfunny and aesthetically displeasing.

ChatGPT is more terrible the more you look at it.

The second one has nice autumn colors though and it looks more like a typical meme contributed by human developers.

Yes, but the AI-soaked yellow hue, the misspellings, and the uncanny not-quite-Drake character gives the whole thing a sadness

They are absolutely not generous, they're agressively marketing because they have very deep pockets. There's a difference ;)

Meme Monday always brings some fun energy to the feed. The cover image from last week fits the theme well, and it’s great to see how creative the community gets. It’s also good that the space stays inclusive, so everyone can enjoy the humor without crossing lines. Looking forward to seeing what people share this week!
