tested. The new app turns all your photos into a meme | Technique

Memecam – of course – uses artificial intelligence to turn your photos into funny ones. All you have to do is take one with your smartphone camera, wait a few seconds and the result is there.

These few sentences are sent to ChatGPT in a second stage, which then makes up the joke. The software puts this on the image and sends the result back to your smartphone.
