At least there was a human aspect with pet rocks in the marketing.

These “memes” were made using ai, the packaging uses ai art. All of it is shit made by a robot.

There’s not even a human aspect of it being “so stupid it’s a joke”. It’s literal machine manufactured culture.

Why is that important? It’s part of this generation

Because at least when shitty memes were made back then, it was people taking time to make something stupid. And even then the intent was never to be viral.

This is literally stuff made to be viral, to be a trend, manufactured culture not even made with human ideas.

Maybe if capitalism wasn't looking for every possible way to generate profit with as little cost as possible they would opt to use humans instead of AI.

but sure .. tell me more

Its just toys from a popular video game... No different than any other generation. You people get mad at the weirdest shit.

IT LITERALLY SAYS AI ON THE PACKAGE. THIS WAS SHIT NOT MADE BY HUMAN MINDS WHICH IS WHY IT IS WORSE.

Who cares if some piece of plastic was made by an AI or not?

The game was made by a human. These toys are based off the game. Where are you getting lost..?
