I really don't understand the level of hate this guy is getting. At no point did he claim to be a genius, or a great artist. He was perfectly upfront about his tools. He even posted about his full process before results were announced. His only mission is to get a new 'AI Assisted' category in competitions. As has been pointed out, often, many artists came up with concepts and then directed assistants to create based on a brief. Courts have weighed in and found that the original artist owns the work. All that has changed here is that the 'assistants' have been replaced by AI. Your argument seems to be that only famous and established artists, "masters", ought to be allowed to do this - am I reading that right?
