@twarda.bsky.social: They usually are "enter a lottery where you give your art rights to us so we can monetize it" so I agree. But if one chooses/has a reason to participate, the very least these contests should do is provide a fair competition.

AI image generator shuts down due to lack of profit 🎻

How often do people run into AI stuff away from posting. I only ever see it in weird ads and people showing off to say look what I got AI to do.

irl I see AI gen in stores as posters, book covers, parent's & kids magazines, health care facilities, event marketing, assets & character art in gamedev, scientific outreach & publications :/ Digitaly, the ads for sure but also guys who pretend to be eg. pencil artists, or human art contest winners

Art contests were always kinda BS tho, so I'm not *that* broken up to see them potentially fall out of favor because of this risk. 😒
