Why did they include this idiotic quote? Hell, I've never seen a red, white, and blue cow or a rooster eating cotton candy but they didn't mention that crap.

AI leveled / tilted the playing field. Engineers, Finance, Medical Diagnoses, etc.

Ehhhh… I had a perfectly healthy albeit anxious 26 year old check into our ER with one day of poop that was darker than usual because ChatGPT told him it could be a gastrointestinal bleed. Totally unnecessary visit. Maybe he can request a refund from OpenAI.

There is A LOT of human decision making and creativity that goes into photoshop. It’s effectively a smarter pencil to the extreme. Not a new “brain” like AI art is. It’s a different ballgame.


OK, let's see:
People download digital pictures and text on the internet. People look around and find the pics and text they want and manipulate them into their creation using a program.

People speak into their phone telling AI what they want and how they want it to look.
AI program searches the internet for the pics, text and information and spits out the result.

Photoshop is not an easy tool to use unless you do literallt what you just said which is copy and pasting. In which case you could use Microsoft paint just as effectively. There are thousands of tools on photoshop that a person has to know how to use and layer.

I know this because I have been using photoshop for 14 years now academically or professionally. You cannot use it other than in the most simple terms as a layman.

Most laypeople with a little bit of configuring a prompt could spit that poster out.

Again, photoshop is analogous to a pencil but on the extreme end. Is an artist who uses a pencil (a piece of technology in its own right). It has a variety of skill to it. AI is just asking a computer to spit out a basically finished product with a prompt. It’s more like a generative brain than a true instrument of an artist.

I'm half blind and even I could tell the winner was AI. It's the most obvious of all.

My company is HQd in Columbus, OH. I fricking hate it. Total shithole. However, the Ohio State Fair is amazing. The people watching is first, fricking class and as a southerner, it’ll make you feel better about the South.

The fact that it made two pigs in the race number 1 is the icing on the cake.

2nd and 3rd place look pretty good. I’d vote for the 2d place poster. Colors pop, and that cow is cool.

Looking at the other posters I have no idea how #2 didn’t win. Even #4 looks better than that slop.
