[–] AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Wrongly, I'm afraid. I remember this series of "alot" illustrations from years ago. IIRC a web comic author made them.

The origin of the alot is the blog hyperbole and a half, this article in particular. It is very cute tbh. I don't find it hard to believe that somebody drew this particular alot in response later on.

I tried a few reverse image search sites, none of them could find that exact image, not even something similar.

Also, that font is really similar to what AI might use.

I’d say it’s AI slop.
