My workplace held an AI-generated image contest and I submitted an illustration I drew. Nobody noticed it wasn't AI and I ended up winning.

For the record, I'm not completely against AI - I think it has massive potential in scientific research. We've already been using it here for protein structure and genomic analysis and it's been a powerful tool.

However as an artist, I also feel that it's important to remember that technology should be regarded as a tool to extend our own creativity and capabilities, not replace them.
