AI Memes

Introduction:

  • Louis, Tracy, Lena, Yunive, and Max are STEM major students at Dartmouth College. They have a shared interest in the current discourse of Artificial Intelligence and decided to collect memes of AIs. The definition of memes is “an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme”. With the growing importance of virtual communities such as Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc, memes gain extreme popularity because these inside jokes can be easily edited and distributed.
  • AI memes can be classified as internet folklore for the following reasons:
    • Analogous to biological evolution because of  variation, mutation, and competition
    • Spans across time and place throughout the world.
