Hey guys, thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my app, MemeCam, an app that can understand the context of photos and generate relevant and funny captions for them.
The results are sometimes super funny, other times strange or completely awkward. It all depends on what you snap a picture of, and mood of the AI, I guess!
I was really excited to build this app, because I love memes and I love making people laugh even more.
Given the hefty cost of image captioning service I built the app with subscription at first. But we all hate subscriptions, so I changed it to be free with optional donation/tipping. There are ads which can be turned off with a one time fee, too. Hope this old-school model is still sustainable financially.
How does it work?
You snap a picture, which is sent to an image captioning service (Replicate) and based on the caption, it uses OpenAI to generate a meme for it.

I would love to have your feedback!
Thank you for your thoughtful message. You are very right that including a disclaimer would be the best way to go about it.
I had the best intentions here, and seeing some of the critique it’s really a great opportunity to do better and keep improving how I manifest my ideas!
