Woman’s photo of son rejected from Sydney competition on suspicion of AI

What’s striking is it seems as much to undermine the competition by rejecting images the judges merely think _may_ be AI as it is to accept an AI image that pretends otherwise. In some sense it’s worse, since to submit an AI image is actually cheating, whereas here it was sufficient that the judges merely thought she might have cheated.

Either way, it renders the competition effectively worthless since now even honesty isn’t sufficient to underwrite the integrity of the competition.
