Photographer Miles Astray submitted "FLAMINGONE", a photo featuring a flamingo with its head bending into its body to a contest for AI-generated images, sponsored by 1839 Awards.
And the judges awarded him third place in the AI category and he also won the first place People's Vote Award for the AI category. However, once the contest discovered that Astray hadn't actually used AI but, rather, took the photo himself, he was disqualified.
Astray explained as per Art News: "With AI-generated content remodelling the digital landscape rapidly while sparking an ever-fiercer debate about its implications for the future of content and the creators behind it – from creatives like artists, journalists, and graphic designers to employees in all sorts of industries – I entered this actual photo into the AI category of 1839 Awards to prove that human-made content has not lost its relevance, that Mother Nature and her human interpreters can still beat the machine, and that creativity and emotion are more than just a string of digits".
Even though Astray's winning photograph was deleted from the 1839 Awards website, the artist is treating "the debacle as a victory". As he puts it correctly: "Nature still outdoes the machine and you helped prove it!"
Celtic made light work of St Mirren yesterday and secured a 13-point lead in the Scottish Premiership table with a routine 3-0 victory against St Mirren.
Nicolas Kuhn broke the deadlock at Parkhead in the thirty-third minute when Daizen Maeda rolled the ball across to the German, who was steaming in from the opposite flank to slam home and give Celtic lift off. Ten minutes later, Auston Trusty put his head on Arne Engels' delivery and glanced it into the far corner. And in the sixty-eighth minute, the goalie from the Paisley side got himself in a muddle with his defenders and dropped the ball at the feet of Kuhn who made no mistake.
