I don't want to throw out baseless accusations, but my gut tells me that this image is AI generated.

Look at the snowflakes on the bottom corners, and the one on the vest. The letter kerning is inconsistent too. There is also a dot on the skeleton's forehead. Methinks it's AI...

......and? It's not any worse than using any meme template.

Reduce, reuse, recycle applies to digital content as well. When you can, just use a meme template.

Meme responsibly.

I'm on the fence about this too. If Ai images have been good for anything it's amusing 30-second shitposting and not actual artwork. Although I think vintage hand-made memes have more cultural value overall.

That being said, if you're gonna image-gen, I think it should be done on local hardware rather than spamming downtown-sized super-mega-data-centers using up an entire county's water supply to cool servers generating surreal Spongebob horror.

My 2¢ anyway.

Honestly it’s not bad for AI

When it comes to AI, today is the worst it will ever be

Right, did a great job with the fingers, and only part that makes me suspicious is the quality of snowflake on the sweater

It was the text that put me off at first.
