Fuck AI

He's a modern day John Henry.

it's like... yeah you can tweak every single parameter and build your own checkpoints and stack hundreds of extra networks on top of one another and that is certainly a skill, but creating art with intent is an entirely different skill. and the first one won't give you shit if the contest is about creating art with intent.

I like the artwork, I approve of the message, and this gave me a chuckle.

But c'mon, like, it's against the rules. If you are annoyed by AI art being submitted to human art contests, you should be annoyed by this too.

The first time I read about AI art being submitted to a human contest and winning, I thought, "how drôle." Of course, now I see it violates the spirit of competition. AI art should have its own category -- and that doesn't just go one way. Like it or not, AI is a tool and if some people want to explore how to use it to make good content, let's let them do that in peace. Maybe it will become fractionally less shitty.

This is what will be so sad for the future. I though art was dead years ago, but it's truly dead now

Im pretty sure that's called cheating.
