The girl pasted over Tintin is Wednesday Addams, and she mistakenly refers to Captain Haddock as a commodore, so instead of Tintin saying "Captain, it's Wednesday," Haddock says "Wednesday, it's Captain."
The recaptioned panel gained significant popularity as a reaction image used to express tiredness and being overwhelmed, but is also used as a template for redraws.
The joke is it inverts the usual "what a week/but captain it's Wednesday" meme. Wednesday (the character) calls the captain Commodore (a title for someone in command of a group of ships, but lower rank than an admiral). The captain corrects Wednesday, saying he's just a captain.
In the original instance of this meme (no idea if it's like that in the comic as well) the captain says exhaustedly "What a week." And Tintin says "Captain, it's Wednesday!"
I've seen one case where people trying to make rage comics & wojaks "look better" by using ai. Like a techbro they are not getting the value of a meme is not high quality visual or professional visual, while in fact, shitty edits with noticable jpeg artifacts can make a meme funnier or ironic.

It's a reference to this meme:

Ah thanks, that's the most understandable explanation yet, though I don't understand why the original is a meme at all. No worries!

It's referring to this post, which was AI generated.

Um, thanks. I don't get that one either, though I can see the AI artifacts. It's ok though.

So this one jumbled the words around.

Webster's dictionary defines artificial intelligence as the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior.
