Dear AI Bro. Pick up a pencil.
Overview
The meme features a crudely hand-drawn depiction of Sonic the Hedgehog against a plain white background. Sonic holds a pencil out in front of him with a neutral, deadpan expression. Handwritten text positioned above the character reads 'DEAR AI BRO', while text below the character reads 'PICK UP A PENCIL'. The meme satirizes people who exclusively rely on AI tools to create art instead of practicing traditional hand-drawing skills, using its intentionally low-effort hand-rendered artwork to emphasize that even simple human-created art has value.
Origin notes
This meme is sourced from the Reddit:Meme RSS feed, originating from the Reddit r/Meme community. It is an original hand-drawn meme created to comment on ongoing cultural conversations about the rise of AI-generated art and its impact on traditional art creation practices.
![This is a static single-panel meme originally posted on Reddit with the accompanying title 'Ok, so who is with me?'. It features the character Sonic the Hedgehog standing on the right side, pointing directly at the viewer with a confident, smug expression, one hand resting on his hip. To the left of Sonic is the official logo for Microsoft Copilot, surrounded by black serif text that reads 'Anyone who hates [Copilot logo] is my friend without introduction'. The meme expresses a shared sentiment of widespread dislike for the Microsoft Copilot software, which is often automatically integrated into Windows operating systems without explicit user consent, implying that anyone who shares this negative opinion is automatically considered a friend by the poster, answering the original title's question of who is in agreement.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/db/1a/b6/9a/db1ab69ac25f25916bbaa0ece6cde0b3.png.webp)
