Does ChatGPT have a sense of humor? The artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI is in any case used to create memes, these viral and funny images that we find everywhere on the Internet. The results, inconsistent and bizarre, are hilarious.
Memes are inseparable from Internet culture, and even the shitposting can be considered a certain form of art. But, nevertheless, the pages of memes and others neurchis might one day lose their monopoly on creating memes: it turns out that ChatGPT can be funny too. The artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI is used to design fresh memes, published on the “meme_une_ia” Instagram account. The account was created in March 2023 and has been full of absurdly funny memes ever since.
Memes designed by ChatGPT (with human assistance)
ChatGPT, like everything else it does, doesn’t produce its memes on its own — it’s also incapable of generating images. It is Clarisse, the creator of the Instagram page, who is really behind all the memes published. ” Since this AI thing started freaking everyone out, I thought maybe we could use it to make people laugh. “, she explains to Numerama.
To make these memes, Clarisse gives prompts to ChatGPT. The AI then offers him several jokes, as well as ideas for accompanying images. ” At first, he made absolutely unfunny captions, like ‘a crying cat with the writing: when it’s Monday’. I gave him lots of advice, lots of rules to follow, and I think it works pretty well now “says the designer. ” His captions were too long and too formal, there too I had to help him out a bit. »
She also takes care of creating the images and doing the editing. ” I have fun playing with fonts and colors, because if I strictly follow his description, it’s sober “, she explains. Since then, garish colors and inappropriate fonts adorn his creations.
Eventually, the whole business takes time. ” It’s long and complicated, maybe even longer than if I came up with meme ideas myself “, explains Clarisse. ChatGPT is therefore not yet ready to automate the production of memes: as with everything AI does, there must be a human behind it, in order to refine the result.
Even if the production of these images is time-consuming, there is no question for Clarisse to stop yet. ” I want to keep going, until it doesn’t work anymore or I get bored. For now, it makes me laugh “, she says. U.S. too.
