Vidar uses artificial intelligence
Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.
Vidar brings in two images he has created, with the help of the Midjourney AI. He says that he gave the AI photos of both Bård and Olli, and then he gave it prompts to render the two men in ways to make Olli appear much more attractive, and Bård to appear much less attractive. For Olli, his prompt for Midjourney was "Really handsome warrior Olli stands in front of a vague coat of arms together with his friend, a dragon, who just made it into the picture in time." For Bård, his prompt was "Bård Ylvisåker, a man with insanely low self-esteem, after his book, Us with low self-esteem - a self-help book, didn't sell at all, sitting in the warehouse with all his unsold self-help books with only a little turtle to comfort him." Bård awards him second place.
