    EVP of Samsung, Patrick Chomet, recently said that “there’s no such thing as a real picture”. So this artist should object to the disqualification 🙂

    His statement is so weird. No one said there is no merit in “real” artists. AI just makes it easier for non artists to add pictures into their projects. Like every industrial revolution it just takes work off of us.

      I would love for robots to take over the boring jobs like making art, I think it’s a great advancement that our overlords have engineered for us. Now we can get back to things we really enjoy like shoveling shit and suffocating in mines.

      Thank god they didn’t make robots more useful for everyday life tasks, freeing up a portion of the day. I have a hard enough time deciding what to do with my free 25 minutes every week as it is.

      Got to go, my mining shift at the shit factor… Never mind they made robots to mine shit now, guess I’ll go starve to death in line waiting for free bread crumbs.

        Robots and automation have been cutting ‘mundane’ jobs for literal centuries.

        Artists are frankly out of touch and callous when they imply other people’s jobs should be replaced.

      Or you could just… learn to draw? Sure it takes a while to learn, sure it takes a lot of time to make things, but it genuinely is worth it for the journey alone.

    Just let the AI be the judges. I think it’s bullshit that’s not how it works

    Sounds to me like the right thing to do would be disqualify the winner and cancel the category entirely.

        The artist proved that right now, AI art cannot compete.

        If a horse wins an auto race, don’t give a prize to the #2 motorist.

            No, no, they’re right. I entered my motorcycle in a soapbox derby and won. Everyone agreed we should just light all the derby cars on fire and no soapbox derby cars should ever be made again.

          That’s not how sports work, even Motorsport has classes, often in the same race, e.g. of course LMP-3 or GT3 cannot compete with LMP-1, and the latter cannot compete with F1 (unless you’re whatever madlads made the 919 Evo at Porsche), but it’s still things people watch. Hell classic motorsport can be a ton of fun and there’s rally classes that drive in 100hp cars that make my overweight nerd heart flutter just watching them

            There have been years where a lower class is the overall winner in some endurance Motorsport races though. So your analogy is wrong. If a GT3 Porsche happens to be more efficient or if it’s a year with poor LMP teams, a lower class car can certainly win the overall victory.

            There will still be class victories, but that’s separate from an overall.

            Also classic car (historic racing) is totally awesome, the Goodwood Revival especially has done a really good job making racing exciting again. Their YouTube channel is really well done too.

                  Miles Astray entered a real, albeit surreal photo of a flamingo into the AI category of the 1839 Color Photography Awards which the judges not only placed third but it also won the People’s Vote Award.

                  It got third
