Theme

Try to recreate a classic exploitable meme using AI!

I'm gonna switch up the scoring a little for this challenge, so be sure to read the score section:

  • Most ambitious: the most complex meme or the meme that I (a layman) feels would be very difficult to describe via prompt.
  • Most recognizable: the meme is the easiest to identify, and is the most accurate to the original
  • Do not include the name of the meme in the prompt: the challenge is to find a novel way to recreate the meme, not just get the model to spit out an image it was trained on. You can use words that are in the name of the meme, but avoid telling the model to just make the meme.

Rules

  • Follow the community’s rules above all else
  • One comment and image per user
  • Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
  • Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)
  • Posts that are tied will both get the points
  • The challenge runs for 7 days from now on
  • Down votes will not be counted

Scores

At the end of the challenge each post will be scored:

Prize Points
Most upvoted +3 points
Second most upvoted +2 point
Third most upvoted +1 point
OP’s favorite +1 point
Most ambitious +1 point
Most recognizable meme +1 point
Last two entries (to compensate for less time to vote) +1 point
Prompt and workflow included +1 point
Prompt includes the name of the meme -1 point

The winner gets to pick next theme! As always, have fun everyone! Previous entries

Prompt: surprised pikachu with lots of computers with blue screens and white text. (Copilot)

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Pikachu was the one that applied the CrowdStrike update.

[-] cloudless@lemmy.cafe 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It is super effective!

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Oh no! Putting the name of the meme in your prompt is -1 point! Ya gotta read the scoring rules!

But also lol topical

[-] lud@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Sharing the prompt is 10+ though.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

Just to be sure... That's not how it shows up on your Lemmy client, right? This was a joke? 😅

This is my first time using table markdown, and I just copied it since my client doesn't support it in the text input field so I'm hoping I didn't screw something up. It looks ok in my client, but idk about other clients.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

No, I disregarded your scoring.

Prompt sharing is still fairly rare so it deserves more than 1 point.

[-] cloudless@lemmy.cafe 3 points 4 months ago

I honestly didn’t read the last rule because everything else looked nearly the same. I could have used the prompt “pikachu looking surprised” and probably get the same results. Anyway, I am just here for fun. Cheers!

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I mentioned to read the score section because I changed it, but maybe I'll edit the post to specifically mention them in the theme section and explain them.

Sorry I didn't make it clear enough 😭

[-] allo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

im ignoring that rule. :)

Can make more relevant memes when allowing the ai to reference the original and minefields are bad. My prompt will always include whatever words I want to create the picture I desire.

I will personally give a thumbs up to everyone who includes a reference to their target meme in their prompt to at least offset that 'picturemessupping' rule a little.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

But that's where the challenge comes in 😜

[-] cron@feddit.org 12 points 4 months ago

Prompt: A green plush frog looks contentedly to the left, sipping from a cup of red tea in a large glass, the glass tilted at a 45-degree angle, with a sunset and a large window in the background, the frog seen from the side.

Made with Bing

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

You win!

you get to choose next week's theme. good luck!

[-] cron@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

My suggestion is: Surprise!

Whether it's pleasant or unexpected, I encourage everyone to explore the theme and surprise us with AI-generated artwork.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

You'll have to make a post in the community so that mods can pin it. Feel free to copy/paste my post, as I did with the posts before mine lol.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Don't forget to post this week's challenge to the community!

[-] cron@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

I already did

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Huh, so you did. I could have sworn it wasn't there when I checked 😅

[-] cron@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Nevertheless thanks for the reminder

Prompt: close-up of A dog wearing a hat, sitting on a stool at a table, in a room on fire, a text balloon with the words "This is fine" is coming out of it's mouth --ar 4:3 --sref https://s.mj.run/cNPXXp4iMm8 --cref https://s.mj.run/cNPXXp4iMm8 --stylize 200

I see that @AplasticAenima@lemmy.world had the same idea. This is just by coincidence, I promise.
I spend hours going through all kinds of memes (try making a believable realistic nyan cat, all I got was cats surfing on toast). I finally managed to make something I was happy with, only to find out someone beat me to the punch. Anyway, may the best dog on fire win :)

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Life has not been kind to condensing wonka

Prompt:

hyperrealistic digital art. wrinkly Willy Wonka. He is smiling sardonically. worn and faded Purple top hat and suit. yellow waist coat. leaning on table with one hand holding his head. abundant skin blemishes. malaise vibe.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

This turned out quite well!
Why did you make him so old?!? 🤣 Although it is still quite recognizable so you're still in the running for most recognizable.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 months ago

I don't know. I like to put a disquieting twist on my AI images. I was trying to make him scary/diseased at first much like Patrick below, but the filters were giving me grief. I like the aged twist though since it's an 'old' meme.

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

[-] miau@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 4 months ago

Not a very recognizable meme, so I hope you guys at least find out what it is.

Prompt: "A human norse male wearing an iron helmet stands in a stone and wood city, lookong towards the camera. The helmet fully covers his face and its shadow hides his eyes. A yellowish cloth wraps his neck and covers his sholder."

Workflow: created using Bing AI.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 months ago

This is great

[-] miau@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

I don't know that character

But it was supposed to be an old skyrim meme:

a dog sitting at a table with a cup of coffee while the entire kitchen is on fire. speech bubble (Bing)

[-] cron@feddit.org 6 points 4 months ago

This dog looks quite worried. I also tried creating this meme, but turns out this is not so easy:

[-] cloudless@lemmy.cafe 3 points 4 months ago

Copilot app suddenly stopped letting me download images. Here is a screenshot:

[-] Trollivier@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

So close, yet so far! I was never able to generate the opposite arm for a real arm wrestle handshake.

My prompt : a close-up picture of 2 muscular men arm wrestling in the air, standing one on front of the other. We only see their arms, the left one is a black male wearing grey t-shirt using his right hand, the right one is a white male wearing red t-shirt, using his right hand. We see only the arms.

[-] Marduk73@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

Prompt: A 4:3 aspect frame divided down the middle. On the left frame are two women seated at a dinner table. One woman is crying and pointing to the right. The right frame is a white cat with a sly grin. The cat is seated at a dinner table looking left.

Which puts cron at first place with 4
And 3 way tie for 2nd if I'm counting right on my phone

It would have been funnier if you had prompted for a bird and it gave you this.

Hmmm it should look like this (copied the formatting from theIsim's post, but it's hard to find out what the official markdown is, and what clients support what markdown)
