SUMMARY
I know that AI tools are becoming better and better at producing lifelike imagery, but how on Earth this image, which was recently disqualified after winning a Chinese photography competition, even made it past the judges has baffled me. The image depicting three sanitation workers enjoying a laugh together while taking a break recently won first place at the July edition of the Hohhot Mass Photography Bi-monthly Competition, a multi-series event hosted in the city of Hohhot, North China. Is this image convincing in any way, or were the competition judges simply too naive? A Chinese photography competition has shut down after the winning image was discovered to be AI-created – but how on Earth did it fool the judges to begin with?
