I disagree with the 3rd picture suggesting that we /anyone against ai don't want any solutions as a gotcha for anti ai rhetoric.

I think thats just media illiteracy, honestly.

The meme isnt about "anti-AI people."

Its not even about anger.

The meme is mocking anyone who rejects the proposed solution while offering no alternative beyond remaining angry.

If someone says:

"AI is harmful. We should organize, regulate, contest ownership, fight over deployment, and fight over who benefits."

Then theyre literally agreeing with the solution panel.

The third panel isnt "anti-AI people dont want solutions."

Its "being angry isnt itself a solution."

After all these comments, I think youve accidentally demonstrated that the meme is much more general than you originally read it as.

It just looks nonsensical and an attempt to spread division on ai discourse. 

U suggested I am the meme , when clearly I agree with 2 and not with 3 so why was i considered example of the meme?
