    I’m less convinced that Liberals are “falling for” this stuff, as I am that they’re sharing it because they think it’s funny. I upvote the occasional AI meme too…but that doesn’t mean I think it’s real.

        right wingers don’t understand jokes, satire, etc. to them a joke is when they spew their hate speech and people don’t agree with them. so when they see people post stuff for humour or irony and such they interpret it entirely wrong

      Yeah, I upvoted the trump walker one because the headline quote about signing an AI bill seemed to me to pretty clearly mark it as an AI joke.

      That being said, in retrospect maybe by upvoting AI stuff I think is funny doesn’t mean others won’t fall for it. The dumbest quarter of people can be impressively gullible.

      Didn’t the first of these images come out after Trump signed an executive order banning states from regulating AI?
