it would be cool if it was judged by humans, blinded to whether the submissions were 0% ai, some ai, 100% ai, etc.

but it is judged by ai, which makes it much less cool in my opinion.

to demonstrate the absurdity, the second best submission right now has a note "Literally the Fable essay, but with one letter changed", ranking 10 pts higher than the Fable one.

I'm trying to figure out why I should have any interest at all in participating in this? I mean, other than the $1000, but there's really no clear criteria as to what would win that $1000 since AI is judging it.

It is actually judged by a human at the end FYI.

"The top 5 submissions will be finalists, judged by hand."

Kind of like submitting resumes these days. AI winnows them down and the remaining few get passed to humans.

it still loses its luster, for me, knowing that the top 5 are ai-selected

I mean it's obvious that note is trolling

		unless you have seen the submission, i have no idea how you could possibly know. so, if you don't mind, what are the 'tells'? what "obvious" things did i miss?
