.........

no shit?

No seriously, why is this news?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

This is as interesting as a human passing the Turing Test.

To bring attention to what the artist is trying to say?

[–] Lucidlethargy 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are you joking? AI is kind of a thing right now, friend... Like, people are talking. This was an awesome story.

Breaking News: Person breaks rules of competition and wins; disqualified after admitting they cheated.

I stand by what I said, and adding the current buzzword of the year doesn't change it.

Hey, could you please put the URL in the dedicated URL part of the post instead of in the description? Makes this community easier to navigate (:

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is this supposed to prove anything?
Clearly it was disqualified, since the idea was to show what AI can do.
Submitting non AI pictures is nothing but an attempt at sabotaging the event. It doesn't prove anything but idiocy and malicious intent buy the submitter.

It proves a human created something of higher value than AI could in a contest of nearly 2,000 entries. It's pretty amazing, considering how expansive AI has become.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (3 children)

If it was AI, I have no idea why it would win. AI can come up with much more novel images.

I'm not saying it's not a cool nature photo, it is. But for an AI contest? I don't get why it won period.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah...maybe they had some kind of constraints on the images?

[–] Lucidlethargy 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because it's a beautiful and amazing picture. Do you not see it? Art is subjective, so it's totally cool if you don't. I guess I just thought it was pretty cool, and so clearly did the judges.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Sure, art is definitely subjective. And I was giving my subjective opinion. "It's amazing" doesn't really explain to me why it won, which is, as I said, what I don't get.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Because more people voted for it than any other.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Forgive the tangent, but who in their right mind names a competition with a year-like four-digit number?

Or am I being whooshed and this whole article is an AI hallucination.

[–] Lucidlethargy 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I totally thought that was the number of entries... Is it not?? Haha oh man, if that's the name then I agree with you.
