Always love when self agrandized authorities act like idiots. Feels like the box wine wins wine competition article.

I have a friend that does photo competitions. They say winning is more about knowing the judges than anything else.

    Any photo could be AI at this point. Either you close the contest for good or you accept all contestants. Disqualifying on a hunch dismisses all semblance of credibility. I mean of course it looks off, that’s the point of the photo you silly judge.

    Only tangentially related, but… I can’t help but think this sort of constant paranoia is bad news. Step 1 of getting someone in a cult or into conspiracy theories is to suspend belief in commonly accepted information.

      Yes fear. Fear that your skill and knowledge is no longer useful or you job no longer relevant.

      The thing I fear is the flooding of the net with crap well more crap then now. Also people actually believing the crap. Trusted information sources and authenticated people are the only way I know around that.
