The comic illustrates TVTropes' 'Too Many Shovel Sellers' entry.
extremely funny to me how far my original doodle has traveled, qt is a screenshot of an ai version of a screenshot of an ai version of the original. at this rate soon it'll be entirely conceptual, extended ATU-M imagetype 4721 TOO MANY SHOVEL SELLERS
the replies to this post are literally this meme
Many users saw the AI iterations transforming the original shovel sellers meme into conceptual art as flattering or personally insightful, while others objected to the copying as stealing.
tbc this is fine
please steal any memes i post by the way, that's the entire point
@voooooogel @manic_pixie_agi “extended ATU-M”? you mean TVTropes?

@voooooogel copying is the sincerest form of flattery and all that
@voooooogel
@voooooogel i actually just noticed whoever copied you increased the price of shovels 100x.
seems fitting for the meme
@mattrickard doxxed 😔
@lu_sichu exactly. i mean there's some stuff like my short stories i'd be a bit bothered (that has happened actually) but with the doodles it's just cool to see them enter the remix arena
@voooooogel i think this situation produced and just resolved a gettier problem for me thx
@voooooogel metashoveling
@mattrickard chatgpt is a true child of the 2020s, refuses to believe things were really ever less than a dollar
@voooooogel You can't like, steal anything, man.
