wtf is going on with his feet

This isn’t a shitpost. This is straight up TRUTH.
It's AI slop

It is quite logical to search for something in the place where it might be (future) and not in the place where it obviously isn't (present).
The future is just a moment of now shifted forward. Anything you will find then you can find now.

it's amazing how that isn't even what tipped me off, it just vaguely looks like AI, which is a tad strange for such a simple style

AI seems to really love that extreme high contrast side-lighting on everything. Then the text itself is irregular in a very non-human kind of way, like there's no natural processes that would result in an 'E' like the one in 'BECAUSE'.
Then you've got the person's face, which if it were drawn by an artist of the skill level we'd expect from the rest of the piece, one would imagine they'd do a better job of conveying some sort of personality or emotion.
AI Art is fundamentally antisocial because it's the Art equivalent of the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle; it took less effort for OP to create that than it did to pick apart exactly why it feels so unsatisfying and unsettling in all the wrong ways. Always downvote AI Art.

I looked at this with suspicion, decided it wasn't AI, then I went into the comments and got convinced otherwise. It's scary.

Eugh.
If you have enough money to not worry about your next month's rent, it's rather easier to "live in the present".
This feels like a live laugh love vibe, no offense. I'm not just at a place to accept this... uh, "wisdom."

My line of thought for this is that stressing about whether you'll have enough money to cover rent won't make it any easier to cover rent. Happiness is more about mindset than circumstances. It is easier said than done, for sure, but if one needed to have 0 problems to be happy, there wouldn't be many happy people.
Consider a millionaire who checks the markets one day only to realize their portfolio has dropped by 30% wiping out all of their gains for the past two years and leaving them with only 3 million. They'd probably not be very happy with that, despite still being in a position that many would trade everything to be in.

No... but if you don't worry about it at all, you won't pay it. You need to be able to pay it. Which means having to get money. Which means having to do things. Which means having to plan. Which means thinking about the future.
I do not see how your millionaires explanation is in any way relevant, as they are still won't be living from paycheck to paycheck.

But the message isn't wrong

The top 5 regrets from people that are about to die. Stop worrying and just touch the grass.
Not having the courage to live a life true to oneself, instead of the life others expected.
Working too hard and missing out on life.
Not expressing feelings.
Not staying in touch with friends.
Not allowing oneself to be happier.

You hope for it in the future because it doesn't exist in the present.

My interpretation of the message in the meme isn't so much a "present vs future thinking" as it is a "you don't need to search for happiness because your brain determines your mood, not outside factors." I'm not saying you should just ignore your issues (which would make things more difficult over time), but that you can be happy despite them. Happiness isn't a goal, it's a state of mind.
As for the millionaire example, that they wouldn't be living paycheck to paycheck is the whole point. It was intended to frame happiness/unhappiness in a different context that was easy to understand (he lost money he had spent a lot of time getting) but was still left in a position that most would be happy to find themselves in, but instead he's probably miserable about it.

Unless the definition has changed over the years, a shitpost is just something that took little to no effort. All genAI posts are therefore shitposts.

Because capitalism (and religion before it) told us it would come in the future. As long as we worked as hard as possible in the present.
In the case of religion, this was after you died, until people figured out it was a little too convenient, a little too much of a blank cheque that leaves very little room for recourse if it doesn't turn out as advertised.
In capitalism, "defferred gratification" is sold as a virtue, a sign of good moral character, you are made responsible for your own happiness in a way that requires continual vigilence.

Oh... so what you're saying is that it isn't quite as simple as the picture makes it out to be..?

"Shitposting" describes the act, not the content. Posting content "that took little to no effort" to produce is just spam. It doesn't matter if a human made it or not.
