The human-bot confusion continues, as a photographer got 3rd place in a competition for computer-generated images. Per Ars Technica:

In a statement provided to press outlets after Astray revealed his deception, the 1839 Awards organizers noted that Astray’s entry was disqualified because it “did not meet the requirements for the AI-generated image category. We understand that was the point, but we don’t want to prevent other artists from their shot at winning in the AI category. We hope this will bring awareness (and a message of hope) to other photographers worried about AI.”

We do seem to be blurring the boundaries – both intentionally and unintentionally.
