Your memes are outdated #169

Description

These AI generated memes are the new memes. Gone are the single photo millennial memes. https://www.youtube.com/live/UE1aly88rCQ?si=0XGb_IwlOkyLmNBo&t=730

One step towards improving the dankness of our memes is to prompt for GIFs in our existing meme generator. I believe the code already supports this feature.

But ultimately I'd like to see fresh AI generated memes, not from a meme template. Maybe a small restyling of existing memes, maybe entirely new funny meme ideas.

Ref my comment in an earlier PR, our existing templated meme generator is already able to cobble together a meme:

Gotcha, that's fine by me in that case. I'd be concern with fetching bad images (e.g. images that already have texts on them) if we use custom backgrounds. It might be wiser to stick with templates.

Let's experiment with downloading the whole list for now and see how that goes 👍

Ok, let's merge it 🚀

I had a pretty wild idea, if AI is able to source images on the internet and position and scale them however it wants, it's technically able to create its own fresh memes. I haven't looked much into whether anyone is doing this already though.
