The AI debate Continues to Generate Trouble

I'm glad it sparked outrage, Daniel Husbands. Artists are struggling, and the prize money could've really helped an artist and their family.

Dustin Richardson

Oh no... Yes, that's not fair at all. I'm glad it's getting outrage, too, Maurice Vaughan.

Frank Detrano

AI right now is a Pandora’s box that can’t be closed…very very stiff regulations need to be put in place to safeguard artists and their livelihoods…as for the contest there should be outrage and the prize money returned

Gregory Barone

well, the guy used AI and won. some places need to redo the entry requirements for these contests!!! REALLY!!!

Ashley Renee Smith

Wow, I didn't know about this. Thank you for sharing, Daniel Husbands!

Sam Rivera

Thank you for sharing this Daniel Husbands

Kevin Jackson

How could they not tell this was AI?

Leonardo Ramirez

To give them the benefit of the doubt, I wonder if they fully understood what they were watching and its implications.

Gregory Barone

Leonardo Ramirez I'm gonna go on a limb here and say NO they did not.

Kevin Jackson

Right now, every contest and exhibition needs to detail the acceptable or non-acceptable use of AI. Once it is not stated participants will do anything.

Daniel Husbands

With all of the buzz about AI everywhere, it would be really hard to see a competition of this size never consider AI being used. While I can't say they knew for sure, just seems unlikely no one who organized this is connected to the issue. AI is everywhere right now.

Leonardo Ramirez

I worked in the music industry for a number of years, Daniel Husbands. There are some aspects of it that exist in a bubble. Some of that is due to the busy nature of the industry.

Daniel Husbands

Perhaps its worth having AI specific competitions.

Terence Daniels

AI video is filled with mistakes but you have to exploit that somehow if you use it. Nothing is ever perfect or finished as you know. The video simply does not go with the music. This is more about Pink Floyd that any love for AI.
