Bro, this was literally posted 2 days ago.

Lemmy being a true reddit alternative, I see

Being fucking funny is also a skill.

Because the first place one is perfection.

It truly is. It’s one of my favorite internet things

This is one of the few things that truly tickles my funny bone just thinking about this one makes me laugh and leads to confused coworkers every couple months

I would be so pissed but then find it so funny if I was the artist that came second.

Also just love they had to remind people it was based on popularity knowing there’ll be backlash.

As I posted on the last repost of this. The dogs name was Doggy McDogface

And I'm assuming the picture was drawn while the artist was drinking some "Hitler did nothing wrong"-flavored Mountain Dew?

Proof that AI can never replace a true artist like the 1st place winner.

If we are talking about art and not technique the winner of the contest is not inferior to the second place. I would argue it even does a better job at communicating the subject's emotions.

I see nothing wrong here.

If it didn't win it was going to hunt down everyone who didn't like it. They did everyone a favor.

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

TBH I'd adopt the first place dog in a heartbeat. I mean #2 is just a head.

This is art, now we gotta burn the moana Lisa and replace it with 1st place number one Doggo
