    Oh man, I’m going to switch the image to this one, didn’t realize it was AI generated. Why do people do that when they could just use the original?

      So THAT is why I could not find the difference.
      OP, PLEASE put a disclaimer in your post when you replace something!

      Might make note of the update, I spent far too long trying to figure what was different between the post and the pic above before noticing your comment. 🙃

      If it’s not too much trouble, could you link the modified one in the comments? Just because I’m curious!

          I don’t understand the idiots that do this. The original already exists and is already established as a viral meme. It’s straight up ignorant and disrespectful to have a robot spit out a version that you think will fix the original

          At least when AI users make prompts that generate things that haven’t existed before, they aren’t trying to directly undermine a specific piece of media

            Same. It’s like an epidemic, I notice it a lot outside of Lemmy. People will take a meme and then AI generate it with a different animal or person. WHY?!

          I’m just amazed whoever generated it didn’t add gigantic boobs. It’s like 5 extra input tokens, so basically free!

        Original pic: https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.world/comment/26871295

        Yass - originated from LGBTQ+ (esp Black LGBTQ+) spaces to be used as a noise of excitement and encouragement

        Yassify means to make something look prettier/conventionally attractive, but to the point that it makes a person unrecongizable, hence t’s been used more in a negative way. It’s like putting a TikTok filter on a person because you feel like they’re too ugly, but then they come out a different person. Such as the asian girl in this Stanford AI promotion scandal who was “yassified” (slimmed down, lightened, make up, etc.)

          While it was used in the wider black LGBT äQ community, “yass queen” is/was particularly big in the drag (or at least black drag) community and those folks tend to have super over the top makeup and outfits for their shows, which is probably why yassify now means (generally AI generated) over the top glow-ups (except not in the fun, flamboyant way like drag queen’s). I’m pretty sure the beauty influencer scene also co-opted it sometime in between those timelines, but then there’s some overlap there anyway
