Yeah I still require context for the Kirk thing. It makes no sense. Vibe-coding is using AI to code for/with you

The Charlie Kirk face meme was so prevalent that it infested the data source of nearly every AI so that they will randomly generate a picture of him

Yeah I don't get why people think this, is it because of that meme image of Harry and Hermione's wedding? Are people that gullible to think that a random Charlie Kirk will appear in AI pictures? lol

It was true for a very short time during the kirkification trend, because there legitimately was a massive slew of Kirk images in the training data, but that was for like, a week, and right after the AI got normal images again and stopped slipping Kirk in the background of things.

If you believed that for a second then you should look up, cuz “Charlie Kirk” is written on the ceiling.

I don't "believe" anything, I saw it happen in unrelated AI images for a week.

And when I was 12 I saw Santa Claus. There were so many AI images with Charlie Kirk in them... because there was literally a trend of putting Charlie Kirk into random images.

Easy to prove, then. Share a public link of the chat session you saw it happen in. All the major AI providers provide a share function.

It absolutely did not lol, I'm deep in the ai scene and have run literally hundreds of models locally and never even heard about that until now

K but, you didn't. We all know you didn't. Why are you making up stories again? We talked about this...
