Obviously the one on the left is a froggo, the one on the right is a frog and should have been banned from the contest.
Froggy McFrogface
Edge culture is so annoying
In the third grade, I won the science fair.
The competition was pretty strong. There was a kid who built a contraption to simulate a mini-tornado. Granted, it was probably his dad who built the thing, but still. There was another kid that built and programmed a robotics project. Again, probably his parents did a lot of the work, but the guy was super smart so I’m sure he did some of that work. One girl came up with an experiment to use fungus to grow plastics or something like that, I don’t remember. It’s been decades.
Me? The afternoon before the fair I had literally nothing. I grew up poor, we had a lot of junk laying around the house because my parents would go to the county dump site, dig through the trash, and bring home anything they thought was valuable or fixable. I managed to hobble together one of the light sensors from a broken night light to the electronics from a toy radio so that it only played when the lights were off. I stuffed that into a cardboard “robot”. And the people judging the science fair loved it.
So fuck you Stephanie Petty, Chris McDonald, and Dequan Shaw and your rich ass parents and your entitled ass selves. I won bitches.
I have a similar story from 2001, 8th grade science fair.
One of the kids had a seismograph (parents) one had some bacteria thing (probably also parents, that kid was as dumb as the contents of his petri dishes) they all looked super professional and stuff and were obviously shit from books or the internet.
I fucked around for weeks in class doing basically nothing and the night before threw together a hand written display with some info I looked up, painted a balloon and pvc pipe with paint, and stuck it on. The “project” was about the impact of static on heavy machinery and the idea of applying an insulating coating to reduce static buildup and transference on machine parts, displayed via balloon, pipe, and latex paint. Totally original idea (to me, anyway) and research and they thought it was great even tho it looked like complete shit.
All you needed was a sealed Chewie action figure
Just be careful it doesn’t get bent
I bent my wookie!
Thought I was having one of those Bearenstein Bears moments but there is another dog version of this
Here is more context for the picture:
Amazing, I’ve seen the original screenshot so many times but never this context
This one of my favorite memes of all time
I always get a good laugh at it so thank you for posting
Bearenstein
nice one
Just saying it the correct natural way, not sure what you mean
Maybe unpopular opinion but the winner is objectively better art than second place. Left makes me feel whimsy and mild joy, and right just makes me think “frog.”
Yep. Some people think skill is art. They don’t understand art. Skill is great, but art is something that makes you think or feel. The amount of skill involved doesn’t matter, except as something you think or feel, which can also mean less skill is as valuable as more skill.
Very clearly a toad. Points deducted.
I’ll just put this here.
… toads are frogs.
Hell yeah! Fuck paraphyletic groups!
LIES!!
And that’s why they didn’t win, obviously
Swear I almost wrote toad but just assumed I was wrong on the frog post.
A day early. It’s not yet Wednesday, my dudes.
EDIT: Is now Wednesday.
AAAAHHHHHHH
You’re wrong though, it’s definitely Wednesday right here right now. Also, how does time work?
Nah, it’s perfect for us UTC+10’ers
Where?
Here.
This is what the AI are trained on
Well, second place is a frog, first place is a froggo, they understood the game.
2nd is clearly labeled as the funkiest of frogs, which should qualify it as a froggo
He may be the funkiest of frogs and he looks like a pretty funky frog, but he ain’t no froggo!
One has heart the other just has skill, talent and technique.
Art is Subjective, and as my Subjects you will Like what I tell you to Like!
People: “omg why are you using AI to make a picture of a frog. Just grab a pen and paper and whatever you do will be better than what AI can generate” Also people: “lol. This pen and paper drawing is awful. I can’t believe it won Against this high quality obviously better detailed drawing of a frog”
This is older than AI.
“better detailed” doesn’t necessarily mean “better art” …
Art being fidel to reality is it’s own subset of art movement, called realism. Many people appreciate it as “wow this is so close to real life/so much effort”, but then if you ask people what they think the greatest artworks are they might bring any artist. Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Dalí, Picasso, Pollock, etc.
So no, just because something is closer to real life does not make it “objectively the best art” in the broader sense of art. Maybe you can measure that when pit against other realism pieces, which sre not as faithful to real life.
I’m know that. I’m not arguing that detailed is better. It’s the post that is arguing that, with it’s implied “I can’t believe that thing got the first place”.
My point is that better is better no matter how it’s made. It could be pretty or ugly, made with paint or digital, AI or no AI
