Better wheelchairs?
What follows is purely a rant so feel free to ignore. I hosted the "Better Wheelchairs" contest out of desire to see people put effort into making the AI draw wheelchairs that are not clunky hospital chairs guaranteed to make your condition worse if you try to self-propel in them. However, most of the entries turned out exactly like what I was hoping to avoid: clunky hospital chairs with not an ounce of ergonomic design, some embellished with fantasy or scifi elements. I was disappointed but still thought I could reward the people who had actually managed to follow the contest guidelines... But now, looking into it, that appears to not be the case. Community contests are judged solely based on "likes", which is somehow PixAI's idea of "ensuring fairness"... Because having a large follower base showering you with "likes" means that your creation is worth the prize even if it only very superficially matches the theme of the contest? Okay then. Popularity is everything; lesson learned. I guess it's time to train a half-assed LoRA and spam minimum reward contests with LoRA requirement to cash in the credits if this is the level of commitment we have for the quality of community contests...
