Overview

A two-panel meme contrasting reactions to writing criticism. The top panel features Tom from Tom and Jerry with a mischievous expression saying "Your writing sucks". The bottom panel shows the popular "crying man" meme template with tears streaming down his face, responding "You used AI to write this". The meme humorously contrasts different types of writing criticism, with the second critique being more devastating than the first.

Origin notes

This meme originates from Reddit and is a remix of two existing meme templates: Tom from the animated series Tom and Jerry, and the "crying man" reaction image. It combines these templates with new text overlays to create a commentary on AI-generated content criticism.

This is a single panel reaction meme. It features a widely recognized viral photo of a young Black man wearing a white tank top, displaying a deadpan, unimpressed, skeptical facial expression while sitting and facing the camera. Bold, white all-caps text with a black outline is placed at the top and bottom of the image: the top text reads 'WHEN SOMEONE POSTS ABOUT AI TAKING JOBS', and the bottom text reads 'AND THEY USE AI TO WRITE THE POST'. The joke highlights the hypocrisy of people who publicly express fear and anger about AI displacing human workers, but choose to use AI tools to create the very posts where they complain about AI, contradicting their own stance that people should prioritize human labor over AI use.

This meme uses a tiered visual of surreal, godlike cosmic angel figures of decreasing size and perceived power to rank different approaches to writing academic essays. The largest, most powerful figure floating highest above the clouds is labeled as people who write their essays completely by themselves, framed as the most impressive, highest status group. The slightly smaller similar floating figure is labeled as people who write their own essays first then use AI only to correct mistakes, considered the second best option. The tiny, weak-looking hunched figures standing on the ground at the bottom of the scene are labeled as people who use AI to write their entire essay, framed as the lowest status, least impressive group. The joke exaggerates the perceived superiority of doing essay work fully manually over using AI assistance.

This meme is split into two parts: the top section has repeated text reading "dad is typing..." three times, followed by the line "Dad :", below which is a still frame of Tom the cat from the animated series *Tom and Jerry*. Tom is grinning widely, looking happy, and holding his hand up in a thumbs up gesture. The joke plays on the common relatable experience of waiting a long time for a father to finish typing a message over chat, only to receive a short, low-effort positive reaction like a thumbs up instead of the long message you expected.

A 2x2 grid meme with text panels on the left and image panels on the right. The top left panel contains the text 'man made in the 2010s' paired with a top right image of a person with a sad expression. The bottom left panel has the text 'man made in the age of AI' paired with a bottom right image of the same person with a relieved expression. The meme humorously suggests that 'man made' was perceived negatively in the 2010s but is now preferable compared to AI-generated content.

A two-panel meme featuring Morty Smith from *Rick and Morty* in a bathroom setting. The first panel shows Morty standing in front of a sink (with a chicken-shaped soap holder) and toilet, holding an object (likely a phone) up with a confused expression, accompanied by the text 'Is this AI ?'. The second panel shows Morty in the same setting, now clutching the object close to his chest with a shocked, anxious expression (bared teeth, wider eyes), with the text 'Is everything AI ?'. The meme humorously depicts existential confusion about the prevalence of AI.

A two-panel meme using screenshots of Tom Holland as Spider-Man from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The top panel shows Spider-Man crouching on a nighttime rooftop with the text 'Avg. internet user in 2025' above him and 'Everywhere I go...' below, establishing him as a stand-in for the average online user. The bottom panel depicts Spider-Man looking at a brick wall with a text box containing various AI-related comments: 'This is AI', 'Screams AI', 'AI garbage', 'AI slop', 'Y'all it's not real it's AI', and 'Is this AI?'. Below this, the text 'I see these comments' humorously conveys the ubiquity of AI discourse online in 2025.

This is a comparison meme that uses exaggerated scale to draw a humorous contrast between two groups of students. A giant, ethereal, godlike humanoid figure with glowing eyes and wing-like structures sits cross-legged floating above clouds, labeled as people who write their own essays. Far below on the ground, two tiny, weak-looking humanoid creatures are labeled as people who use AI to write essays. The joke frames people who complete their own academic writing as far superior and powerful compared to those who rely on AI tools for their essays, aligning with the original post title 'Weaklings, all of you' that mocks AI essay users.

A meme featuring a screenshot of Peter Griffin from the animated TV show Family Guy, depicted laughing uncontrollably with tears streaming down his face. The top text reads ':AI will take your jobs Homemakers:' and the overlaid text on the image is 'When?'. The meme humorously conveys that homemakers are unfazed by the idea of AI taking over their roles, suggesting their work is either irreplaceable or not perceived as a 'job' AI would target, resulting in a sarcastic, lighthearted reaction.

A two-panel meme featuring Elmo, the red puppet from Sesame Street. In the top panel, Elmo stands behind a table with a banana and a green apple. Above him is the text 'Content creators,' with two options below: 'Voicing videos yourself' (left) and 'Fuckass-sounding AI voices' (right, accompanied by a pile of white powder resembling cocaine). In the bottom panel, Elmo is face-down in the white powder, appearing defeated. The meme satirizes content creators who opt for low-quality AI-generated voices over recording their own, implying a destructive or regrettable choice akin to addiction.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text reading 'AI is going to take your job' followed by 'what job?', and a lower image of animated Spider-Man sitting in a green chair with hands clasped in front of his face, making a thoughtful or dismissive gesture. The humor arises from the sarcastic response to the common fear of AI replacing jobs, implying the character has no job for AI to take.

This meme uses a screenshot of a crowded bar scene from the animated TV series The Simpsons. Homer Simpson is positioned at the center of the bar counter, with white text over him reading 'posts any image'. All surrounding patrons, representing regular Reddit users, have text over them listing common dismissive claims about posted images: 'it's ai', 'ai slop', 'fake ai', 'garbage ai', 'stupid ai', repeating across the crowd. The joke satirizes the widespread trend on Reddit where users often automatically accuse any new image post of being AI-generated, dismissing unvetted content as low-quality 'AI slop' regardless of its actual origin.

This meme uses a popular reaction image format to humorously comment on the growing cultural trend of relying on artificial intelligence (AI) instead of human cognitive effort. The image features a man in a business suit holding up his hand in a clear rejecting gesture, while another hand offers a realistic model of a human brain. The bold text above reads "No thanks i use ai", framing the choice to use AI as a deliberate rejection of using one's own brain. The joke satirizes how AI tools are increasingly being used for tasks that once required human thinking, exaggerating this into a comical refusal of natural mental ability.
