gollark: I mean, generating vaguely memelike text and putting it on a meme template is doable.
gollark: "AI" is not as far as I am aware actually good enough to make memes yet.
gollark: Hmm, so maybe if I make a bot which can somehow autogenerate memes, it can post those, and maybe use alts for investment commissions. The only problem is that autogenerating good memes is probably insanely hard.
gollark: I don't know how it works since the new bot is sadly not open source.
gollark: Alternatively, make two bots and drive up the price I guess?
