To people complaing about "A.I. generated X" memes, remember the ever redundant Advice Animals, challenges that weren't challenges, non-troversies, hashtag memes, and many many more?

KYM is no stranger to meme fads and trends taking root every so often; the others passed and so will this, given enough time. At least this fad produces some nice visuals every now and again.
