Screenshot of a post from the "NFC East Meme War" subreddit. It uses the popular "Predator handshake" meme format, showing 4 very muscular arms grasping one another. Each arm is labelled with the logo of a different team from the NFC East, and the point where they all meet us labelled "Abolish ICE". The post is highly upvoted, communicating that this is a very popular message in the community.

A screenshot from the article linked in the quoted post, which reads: So far, creative fields, and those that involve real-life human contact, seem more impervious to this trend. It will probably be a period of time before doctors or nurses, or professions that rely on genuine creativity such as painters or performing artists, find themselves replaced with an AI model. Even so, if people become increasingly unable to spot AI, and businesses continue to embrace it, the risk is that professions such as art and illustration also get devalued over time, and replaced by a bleak, AI-generated cocktail of eerily familiar "creative" work.

A screenshot of a poem, which reads: A paper wasp takes weeks to build a nest The guy in the Orioles hat on my FYP needs only thirty seconds of cap-cuts to bring it down for one eightieth of a penny per view Unlived futures Wisping down In shreds Below the caption And the hashtags And the auto-generated subtitles It's my fault He says, and zoom, sensing the moment, renders it in full caps MY FAULT as the subsidiaries' logos in his virtual backdrop Shiver Remembering the days of their own Surprise mandatory all-hands Thirteen years of careful growth Sheltered symbiotically under the second story eaves Where the bark of local trees was plenty sufficient And we kept the aphids at bay all summer We were able to balance the acidity Of our mastication perfectly Just bitter enough And the warmth of our bodies together Vibrated a season into memory
