Sometimes I don't really "get" the art, but everything about this is [chef's kiss].

Winning this competition must have felt so sweet. I bet some fist pumps and high fives were exchanged.

That actually makes sense - and partially an admission that AI can't compete with real artists yet. It's like a pro sending a picture to an event that only allows amateurs.

It seems to me that this artist is just proving even more that we're art the stage where AI-generated art generally can't be distinguished from real-world art. This artist submitted a very thought-provoking work (still having a hard time thinking of that picture as a bird myself), and that's what won them the contest. It could just as easily have been generated.

Feels like humans cheering for Kasparov when he beat Deep Blue. That fleeting moment in time, a crest of a wave, before the change of times.

Disrespectful to the AI art medium.
I don't want to see art from someone who has spent a hundred thousand hours looking at the real world.

For you see, the second artist will be quite mad. The first artist is just a pretentious fake who has not destroyed their own mind.
