Dear MEL Topic Readers,
AI won an art contest, and artists are furious
Midjourney is an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species. Their artificial intelligence program creates images from textual descriptions. A 39-year-old game designer in Colorado wrote a prompt to lead Midjourney to create an image, printed it onto a canvas, and entered the digital arts/digitally-manipulated photography category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition, and won the first prize. It surprised and even upset other digital artists even though the creator followed the competition’s rules. The judges weren’t aware that the image had been created by the AI program but said it wouldn’t have made any difference to the judgment even if they had been informed of the fact. The title of the winning artwork is "Théâtre D'opéra Spatial" (French: Space Opera Theater),
Enjoy seeing the AI-created artwork that won an art contest.
