With ~2000 entries, I was surprised by the patterns that emerged in submissions--themes that told a story of things we're all collectively experiencing. I've broken these into categories. Hope to keep that context for gallery exhibitions.

"AI is theft"
"Forward," by @EclecticMethod. A Transformative Use remix of split-second film clips, his own music, & frame by frame AI animation.
Like all art, its shaped by its influences, deepened by their subtext, & transformed to express something entirely new.

"AI Art doesn't say anything"

From the pulse of that feeling, @womancalledwild used ChatGPT & text-to-image to create a manifesto for AI art--in the style of Martin Luther's 95 Theses. She then made it an AR filter to be virtually tacked at the door of museums & galleries. Guerilla art. Innovation.
Forward.

"You just typed a few words."
Speaking of innovation, @nptacek made a cityscape with AI, asked ChatGPT to write a script to port it to a VR headset as an environment, iterated until it worked, & stepped inside. They've now made many more.
As they says: "Words create Worlds."

"I can always tell when it's AI."
Maybe, for now. As tools rapidly evolve, artists are creating increasingly realistic work. Post-photography is new, but before long, will be indistinguishable from photographs.

Tell me these artists haven't used AI to create the radically new. Tell me it's soulless. Go on.

"There is no fingerprint of the artist"
This is by @scizors_eth. They dance to dissonant words+music stage center, the sides a remix of my art (by @EclecticMethod), transformed by AI that imitates knitted wool. It's bizarre, fascinating, nouveau dada.

"AI art takes no skill, you just push a button"
@kreaturecastle's video offers a glimpse into their process. There are as many processes as there are artists. All personal. All valid. All none of your business.
To any hate-reading, please know: this phrase is a self report.

"AI art all looks the same"
This is not a watercolor. This is not a 3D render. This is not an embroidery. This is not an ink drawing.

"AI art is meaningless"
One pattern in submissions was using AI to navigate grief and recreate lost memories.
@redactedpride lost all photos but one of her late grandmother in a house fire. She combined it with one of her mother, adjusted from memory, and made this portrait.

1) @vulcanstudionft remembers a loved one lost during the pandemic.
2) @Dvyntwoman creates her late grandmothers favorite colors/flowers.
3) @elnaztaassob's memory of her mother's grave, through the lens of her love for her.
4) @PhoenixFawkes25 recalls schoolmates lost to time.

Disabled artists (including visually!) using AI to create & connect again. The overworked discovering time to express themselves. Victims of injustice finding righteous anger. These were not the only ones.

All entries--funny, angry, forlorn, loving, etc--felt personal. VERY personal. Personal in the way you speak to yourself in your head, but don't share w/o sanitizing.

There was more worthy work than spots for finalists. I made a gallery on my website for more highlights from Contest 3--each picture, when clicked, links back to your post on Twitter. I'm still adding more, will be up in a few days.
Let me know if you'd prefer yours isn't shown.

Thank you to everyone for submitting, and for reading. I hope you've gained something, like I have, from it. The website will be finished within a few days, will post it then. (Closing piece by @LimnDigital)
See you next time.
