Lately, it seems like every other day there is some huge development in the field of AI. And sure, There have been developments in this field for decades now, but it really feels like we are finally on the verge of some big singularity and that the promise of actual AGI is just around the corner. And that is exciting and also terrifying. But just before our robot overlords take over the earth, we can still have some fun - Like feeding an AI tons and tons of Internet memes and seeing if it can make some of its own.

The short answer is - yes. The long answer is - Yes, but they are not very good. It seems like the AI understands what each meme is supposed to say, but it doesn't have anything to actually say. For example: in the "Look at me. I am the ___ now" meme, it wrote "Look at me, I am the one who's talking now" which is a correct way of using the meme but is very far from funny. There are also a few concerning memes, like the famous drake meme, where the AI decided he rejects the world, but wanted "the idea of a new world". Is the AI trying to tell us something? you be the judge.
