Summary: The following article discusses how recently in Colorado someone submitted art into a competition and won, the catch being that they used artificial intelligence (AI) to create the art. This raised concerns from other competitors and others on the internet after the story started to spread. While there were no rules that strictly prohibited AI usage in the competition, many felt that having an AI compete against humans was unfair. This raised many ethical and philosophical questions including who is the real creator of the art: the person using the AI, the AI itself, or the people who created the AI?
