He proved that all the hubbub is rubbish. You seem sukt into the BS. AI is just olde news. In the 1990s my friend was the AI collumnist for Wired magazine. Thaz the 1990s ! A printed paper magazine. Let that sink in if you can. AI has just about always been with us. OTOH where were YOU ?

If Sony returns images of two people with five hands, I think I’ll stick with my Nikon.
Typical UHH aversion to imaginative ideas. Where can I get one of those super Sonys ?

There is something that I cannot understand, if he knew his image was AI generated why in the world did he submit it.
Better yet....if he was going to decline the prize because of AI, why submit it?

To WIN ! Kinda waaaay obvious, no ?
If he hadnt won, then nothing gained.

He was trying to make a point. The part of the contest he submitted his image to allows AI, but he wanted to make the point that AI images are not photographs, so he submitted it planning to decline if he won. If you had read the link in the OP, you would have known all this.

The story does say a whole lot about the supposed quality of results from Sony ....
I do not regard this as a negative mark for Sony, nor does it imply ANYTHING about any quality of results of Sony.
What we need, of course, is for a similar entry to be posted to a Canon sponsored competition — and win.
That is IF Canon sponsors such events . . . .
And the story actually says quite a lot about the moral beliefs of the creator of the entry.

I think the judges probably felt so duped. Ameca would be proud!
I see you didn't bother to read the link in the OP. The judges knew it was AI, and it was allowed in the part of the contest he entered.

But what if AI wasn't allowed, and the judges did pick an AI image....that will occur sooner or later.

The point he was trying to make would have been more effective if that was the case.
