That's angst and industry. I cannot afford the artificial intelligence on my pay. We are certainly seeing a cage fight in the photo contest field these last few weeks. The entry, success, exposure, and withdrawal of an image in a prestigious associated with an equally prestigious camera maker - because it was generated with a typed description rather than a lens - is raising hackles throughout the photo press. It may not be the only instance of this sort of thing happening - and in some others there might have been successes that slipped through. The naughty artists may have glommed the goods and beetled out the back door. We'll have to watch the photo-news to see if more get caught - since we'll never know if they get away with it. I am not too fussed - not entering photo contests myself - but I can see the thing touching me very slightly. Occasionally I am asked to judge at a camera club for one of their monthly competitions. I hope I do it competently and to the satisfaction of the photographers....
