The shadows are wrong

They scissor

I'm pretty sure they stick it to each other...

Personally I don't really care if it is or isn't. The message and idea is good and I don't expect AI to have come up with that

Early 2020s: is this cake?

Late 2020s: is this AI slop?

This image is at least 11 years old so go find the original artist and ask them to fix it for you

At least I'm fairly certain it's not loss.

Outrageous! A human would never do that!

Would be nice if there was an artist signature or something that we could reference.

If it's a meme, it might actually shared and reshared for a tons of time, which inevitably went through those "meme page" on facebook or insta, where they tend to crop the signature off. So the lack of signature sometime make recognition hard.

Yes and my chop sticks have their eyes closer to the bottom instead of near the top.

Op said that they ain't sure if it is ai. I think my point is justified.

2030s: "Is this cake AI generated?"

2010s: "The cake is a lie!"

Haha this is a good metaphor for hetero and homo couples

not sure if AI slop

So its not then?

Who cares? It's funny.

Chopsticks clearly do fork things. I see them as a more specialized fork since they blunt-cut worse than a fork, and you have even higher viscosity requirements for scooping stuff, but for manipulation they beat forks.

A single chopstick is however useless, so clearly they each are half a fork.

It's panels two and three
