These AI-generated coronavirus memes are funnier than ones made by people

It's official: The coronavirus quarantine may have well and truly made the concept of a "meme" obsolete. For proof, look no further than "This Meme Does Not Exist," a meme-creation tool created by meme-template website Imgflip. At a glance, it looks like your average random assortment of meme templates. They're being created on the spot by a neural network, an artificial intelligence (AI) that predicts what it thinks a meme might look like. You can let the network generate a random meme for you, or you can preselect your meme from one of many popular templates, from Mocking SpongeBob to the Gatsby toast.
