I didn’t make this, and I didn’t realize when I posted that this poor meme has been fried by AI (check out the woman’s eyes, as others have pointed out). I don’t know if it was part of the original or if someone tried to run it through a filter, but it does look rough. Sorry!


I see this quite often, I suspect some default Gallery app just AI-upscales downloaded images without users’ knowledge. Someone downloads a thumbnail accidentally, it gets the AI treatment, you get major artifacting like this and they repost it somewhere else. I most often notice it on images of text, when all the letters are wobbly.
