Turing test for images? :-P
Has anybody found the image in full res? I checked the photographer’s website, but it doesn’t seem to be there. I wonder if he didn’t publish it.
Uhm, real or hand-edited? I see no head.

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.
Okay, I just got confused by the discourse, it seems.
“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…
The contest wasn’t whether real pictures were better than AI pictures. The point they’re making is irrelevant.
This is like submitting a home made pie to a ‘best restaurant pie’ contest. Yeah, the home made pie might be better, but that’s not the point of the competition.
We agree on the point that it’s not the point of the competition and that’s alright that he was disqualified, BUT it’s a great move (like have done the AI into real art) to show that real arts could always be as good as AI ones!
Woosh
