Sure, AI photos have their merit. I believe manual and ai generated photos are their own categories and can be appreciated seperately as such.
Why limit AI photos to being a clone of real photos? Push expression of the subconscious, the psychedelic, the eldritch, etc. Make something creatively unique from the photoreal, something manual photos would struggle to recreate.
The stated point listed in the article was to prove that manual photography has merit and that ‘nothing is more fascinating than Mother Nature herself’, which he proved by winning the people’s choice award. He didn’t say the disqualification was inappropriate nor did he criticize the contest for inconsistent rules? It seems quite clear that he expected to be removed from the contest after making his statement, actually.
Personally I hope this doesn’t become a trend of machine generation and manually shot/created work spoiling each other’s contests.
Reminds me of the writing system in Digimon
Not a single one of the assassinated was running for president, that poster was only right in that the cartels were targeting people for political reasons on the local/mayoral level.

This is admittedly horrific to hear about
Were you expecting people to actually read the article and realize you are making up unrelated conclusions, or did you think people would blindly upvote because Reuters.
He gotta post something, because he doesn’t have an argument.
Basking in the sauna at sunset in the bay is now in my bucket list
To add on to the list of countries, Singapore KFC is the only fast food franchise where you can occasionally find overcooked blackish terrible tasting chicken. Macs, Popeyes, Arnolds, BK, Jollibee, etc - not even once (yet).
In my opinion even the Seattle KFC is better.
Amazing, had no idea this was ever revealed!
Feels like nobody cared because current KFC is so average to bad quality. No point stealing that recipe outside for laughs/nostalgia.
The trend baffles me but I can vouch for the brand. I’ve owned their Go Bottle thermos for a year and I bring it everyday to work because I love hot drinks + the look. Best thermos I’ve ever had, definitely on the heavy side though.
Same, I do this to lurk on specific game communities like armored core or pokemon romhacks
My samsung gen 1 galaxy buds are still perfectly fine too, use them to this day at the gym back from 2019-2020. Premium wireless in those days were made of some surprisingly stern stuff. Used to be a diehard Sennheiser guy but their stuff would just stop working after a year or two, wired or not.
