Most people getting hammered by bots are running public facing websites. There a custom port is suspicious as heck.

A limited access service like yours is better served by a VPS or a simple login before everything.

Higher port? I suppose you just run things for yourself and never share them on the public internet then.

Generally one thing that gives AI slop away is that it looks from first look to be high-effort, but the main content itself (here the meme text), is extremely low-effort.

Since this is a repost of a repost, and I remember seeing this image in the past I did a bit more digging, Google reverse image search cannot find an original source, all all images found date from after 2024, so GenAI images were there.

If this was from a real artist I’d expect to be able to find some original source and not just Reddit/Instagram posts from clickfarms with it.

I’m not fully sure, but it looks very much the type of image that would be AI generated. On the bottom right the people look like they have faces in the back.

No signature (might have been cropped), but generally Artists sign their art. The poster has a slop profile picture, and this is a very low-effort post.
