I feel like that could just be hidden behind the keyboard. But certainly someone could do a better job, yeah

We actually debated the hands but decided that you *could* say it is an artist stylistic choice. Particularly for cartoony stuff, actual real artists have done similar things.
Tried to pretend this was a real review that might happen, and you know, I could let the hands pass.

We were aggressively nitpicky on it because everything is inconsistent, which is amusing because the longer you stare at it the more you notice. That *would not* happen with a real person generally speaking. Not like this. And I do think the lack of shadows in certain places causes strange shapes.

I've watched LinkedIn become an AI cesspool over the past few years. But even with that, not a single comment praising him for that post. I've never seen somebody get dunked on so viciously in what is meant to be a professional setting.
Is he simply not looking? Or is he that full of himself?

we debated on the fingers for a while. I decided to not call that one out this time because you *could* make the argument it's a stylistic choice if this were made by a real person. Artists can do some pretty wild noodle fingers, but yeah. I see what you see.

we pretended to do this like an actual artist review. and if I didn't exist, you could make the argument that there isn't anything wrong with these colors.
but yes, it is that instant desaturated weird inability to have vibrant colors.
"Ghibli style" they have the audacity to say 🤮

My friend and I couldn't stop staring at it and we just kept finding more and more errors. Which I think is hilarious because the backwards monitor isn't even where it ends.

THANK YOU. I don't know why anyone thinks 2026 midterms are going to fix this. As if were just going to have normal elections again. As if the country will be normal then?
Why are they so brazen with disregarding the people? Because they are setting themselves up to have no consequences.
