AI has helped us in drafting resignation letters, cracking tough assignment questions, and bombarding friend's groups with '30 unknown facts about the fan.' But that is not all. Artificial intelligence also helped netizens in crafting memes and continuing the storm of hilarity on the internet.

Recently, a lot has been said by critics, commenters, and netizens across the world on the legitimacy of artificial intelligence in creating art. (The viral Ghibli trend.) Anyone? There was a time when memers used to wait for the perfect screenshot from their favorite movies, series, and games. Well, gone are the days to wait for the hand-drawn memes.

Welcome to the artificial intelligence's decade. We now have to click just a button, and platforms like Meta, OpenAI, or others will create a funny meme for you. You just have to write the word, and boom! You have a freshly baked meme in moments.

Who can forget the 'cat in a funny scenario' or 'popular celebs in wrong places' memes? These funny nuggets of laughter are too weird to be real. The 2024 trend that took the internet by storm was the AI Apple Dog meme. Trust it when someone says that meme had gone through more artificially created reimaginings than you renamed your office reports.

Let us please talk about the fun scenarios here. A celebrity reimagined as a Ghibli-styled cartoon? A cat sitting on a giant slice of pizza? A unicorn dancing at a pub? Well, if you thought these were weird, wait till you see the Grok-generated memes on X. Elon Musk himself took to X to share some artificially generated meme.

Wonder what else tops the list? Well, let us talk about the times when the 'intelligence' in question just misses the humor of it. The memes live in a distant realm where any reasoning is optional; sometimes facial structures defy biology. You never know when a commonplace meme generation prompt ends up generating your selfie in Guernica style.

The latest trend, the Ghibli-fication of almost everything under the sun, took it so far that even ChatGPT had to say, 'Take a chill pill.' Rumor says it even gave eye rolls.
