Comment on Fogey-assed old dude says

You saw one of my memes, and reposted it. That’s alright: credit would’ve been nice, but it isn’t required. But then, you have the audacity to remove the watermark, and modify it using so-called “generative artificial intelligence”? And to top it all off, you insult me and my opinion?
What do you have to say for yourself?

My sense of meme culture, and I admit I could be wrong, is that it’s a praise full compliment when someone uses another’s meme format and modifies it. I was sort of startled when you claimed ownership. I thought wow: I did not know that dude was the originator. So. good on you. I honestly don’t come to Lemmy to piss anyone off. I’m not here to compete. Just play and participate a little.
I’m do regret employing AI — I’m here because I want to move the entire internet back to 1999. So… it was a move in violation of my own principals… but I’ve been listening to Gerry Rafferty a lot and I’m nostalgic for the 70s and so I added my two cents.
Surely did not mean to bug.

Eh, it’s fine, I guess. It’s not really my image, legally speaking. AI just really upsets me, and I do anything and everything I can to fight it.
For your sake, and the sakes of those who see your memes, maybe edit images with Microsoft Paint or something next time? That’d certainly give it 1999 interweb vibes.
p.s. i’m not a dude <3

I thank you both for making an example of healthy communication while being upset. I come from a household where the way “adults” were communicating anger thought me nothing but “anger = bad” and really struggled to see otherwise. While I have defeated that mind bug of mine, I still do highly appreciate examples that would’ve helped me in the past in understanding that there might be someone reading your exchange from the spot I was in. <3
