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.
