Artificial Intelligence has stepped into the domain of creating humor. A software called “This Meme Does Not Exist” was made using Machine Learning techniques to generate memes.
Crux of the Matter
What Can AI Not Do? Imgflip has made an AI meme generator called “This Meme Does Not Exist”. Its founder is Dylan Wenzlau. He trained AI using 48 most famous memes and 20,000 captions for each. This machine generates meme character by character. In the middle of a pandemic, the world is witnessing the creation of humor by AI.
Since we are building a generational model there will be one training example for each character in the caption, totaling ~45,000,000 training examples. Character-level generation rather than word-level was chosen here because memes tend to use spelling and grammar … uh … creatively. Dylan Wenzlau, Founder, Imgflip
The Marriage of AI and Creativity Use of AI and Machine Learning in creating content, music, writing songs, etc. is on the rise. OpenAI project developed a language software that could match human capabilities. Many experts believe that AI works more efficiently for creating hyper-personalized content. With the advent of AI in the field of creation, some content marketers are preferring AI over human content.

The term ‘meme’ was coined in 1976 by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. It is derived from the Greek word “mimema” that suggests how an organism can mutate and spread itself by communicating essential knowledge of the surrounding.
A Google Trend comparison of words meme and Jesus – the world’s largest religion, shows that meme is searched on average 2-3 folds more than Jesus.
The study of mathematical logic led directly to Alan Turing’s theory of computation, which suggested that a machine, by shuffling symbols as simple as “0” and “1”, could simulate any conceivable act of mathematical deduction. This insight, that digital computers can simulate any process of formal reasoning, is known as the Church-Turing thesis.
