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

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?

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
