I've been struggling recently with the question of why AI-generated memes are not funny to me.
And I think I finally got it.
Basically, they are not much different from someone describing the joke. Not *telling* the joke — but *describing* it.
Telling a joke, or making a meme, requires care and effort to make it work. Dropping a prompt into image autocomplete really doesn't.
To me, there is just nothing there to relate to, nothing to anchor the humor, so to speak.
