That’s not what he proved at all. What he proved is that an actual photo can’t compete with AI. Literally, because it’s not eligible to compete in an AI contest. His photo wasn’t the best in the category, because it wasn’t in the category to begin with. It’s no different than submitting a photoshopped image in a contest for untouched photos. The disqualification was appropriate, because if he’s willing to break the rules once, he can’t be trusted to be a part of any contests going forward.
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.
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.
Sounds to me like the right thing to do would be disqualify the winner and cancel the category entirely.
What’s the point?
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.

Sometimes the bet works 🤷

But the ai art won…
And did you read the article?
Did you?
It got third
So, the photography competition that was won by an AI image shouldn’t have disqualified the image?
