A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

He should have been disqualified. The photo contest was specifically for AI generated images.
Categories on competitions exist, and if you enter something outside of that category, it should be disqualified.
He was disqualified. That's not the point.
What is the point then? (Sorry if it's explained in the linked article, I don't have time to read that rn, maybe later.)
The point the photographer claims they were making is that real is better than AI and creatives are better than programs.
Okay, then I get what it was for as a protest. But as for the photographer being disqualified... yeah? Makes sense? Not that having an AI competition makes any sense to begin with, though.
Nobody is disagreeing with the disqualification. The photographer himself expected it.
"He should have been disqualified." Right, he was.
But if he just posted it on a "normal" contest do you think that he could say such this message? No one would care and he would just be a random participant...
