Should AI art be allowed in competitions?

AI art draws on uncredited human work and removes the skill and authorship that competitions exist to reward, so it belongs in its own category.

Art competitions should celebrate and reward human creativity, skill, and effort rather than algorithmic generation.

Art competitions should reward human skill and authorship, not outputs where the entrant did not do the creative work.

AI art should be allowed when competitions disclose it clearly and judge it in an appropriate category.
