I Put Memes Through Artificial Intelligence...

Introduction
A month ago, while scrolling through TikTok, I stumbled upon a popular effect where users transform their selfies into anime characters. Intrigued, I wondered what would happen if I applied this filter to a range of random images. To explore this idea, I turned to my Discord server and asked members to send me a collection of random photos for testing the filter. The results were nothing short of hilarious and unexpected.
During a live stream on Twitch, I kicked off the experiment by showcasing the bizarre and often comical transformations these images underwent. With my phone in hand, I shared the absurd selection of images I received, which ranged from minions to decorative patterns, highlighting the randomness of the entries.
Starting with a popular choice, I processed an image of a minion. The results? Let’s just say they were not what I expected, with one transformation leaving me feeling like my childhood was being sabotaged. This strange filter often produced different results each time, creating an endless loop of bizarre images. I even took screenshots of these iterations to marvel at the chaos.
Next, I decided to transform an image of a nerd, and the result was shockingly appealing—who knew AI could render such beauty from a simple nerd face? The search continued with images like cobblestone tiles, which left us laughing at the strange interpretations the AI generated.
I also tried transforming recognizable characters like Milo and various reaction faces, with Milo consistently turning into a cat, adding another layer of hilarity. The process became almost hypnotic as I experimented with the filter repeatedly. With each new image, I found myself both amused and bewildered by the results.
We ventured into classic cartoon characters, transforming images of SpongeBob and Patrick. Unfortunately, the AI did not do justice to the beloved duo, rendering them in a way that left me questioning the artistic choices made.
I concluded the stream with an attempt to transform Phineas from "Phineas and Ferb." The result? An utterly unexpected shark-like figure, proving once again that the realm of AI-generated images could lead to some truly absurd interpretations.
In the end, this experience was not just about the bizarre images; it was about the laughter and community engagement that came from it. I encouraged viewers to follow along on Twitch for future streams, inviting them into this whirlwind of fun, unexpected AI creations.
