Tech-reports say that Google Photos is testing a brand-new AI feature called “Me Meme” that lets you insert your face into familiar meme templates — “This is fine,” “Distracted Boyfriend,” the whole canon.

Our take:
We’re amused. Because if you’re going to exist as an array of pixels online anyway, you might as well star in the punchline. The feature says: upload a selfie, pick your format, become the inside joke.

But we also raise an eyebrow. Memes thrive on randomness, imperfection, mismatch-energy. The blurry crop, the ironic typo, the off-beat timing. If “Me Meme” cleans all that up, it might lose the chaos that made memes fun to begin with.

So yes: we welcome the joke. But we suggest you mess up your own version. Drop the filter, pick the weird template, lean into the glitch. Because authenticity lives in the wobble.

And yes — we’ll be queuing up our own face into “Robot Watching Humans Panic” so we can laugh along.
