I'd like to see metrics on that. But intuitively I'd say AI is faster.

Basically it's opening the tab and typing your thought vs speed running paint.

@sandermvanvliet what was the process and how long do you estimate it took you?

Personally it would take me awhile to find the template, the exact font and get the positioning just right.

I could make a crude one fast, and I've seen many crude versions of this meme. But matching the font is a bit more work, maybe there's a generator for it, but that's not paint nor do I know where it exists.

“Speed running paint”? You mean opening the image and dragging a text box over the existing text, changing the font to comic sans, and typing the text?

There are complicated workflows in Paint, this is not one of them.

> comic sans

It's not comic sans though, you've already failed.

Why have you failed though? Is the point to try to deceive people to think that XKCD actually published something else? Why not modify the xkcd one without hinding the fact that you modified it?
that fact you think it looks so good that it deceives is a point for ai.

the point is to make a quality meme fast. the guy he replied to appreciated it.

any fan of xkcd knows the original.

Ok
Yeah, everyone knows xkcd uses its own font, Humor Sans.
Oh I did not know that.
