When the results of the Pokemon Trading Card Game Illustration Contest were announced and they feature Pikachu, Eevee, Pokemon Cards, Cheating Entrants, Traced Artwork and AI Art! A couple of days ago we finally got an update and we know who got disqualified. I'm here to give an overview of the Drama and spill the tea on what happened, who got disqualified and who took the cheaters' place. For a bit of positivity, I also rate my top three artworks of every catagory!

PSA: Please do not harass anyone I mention in this video, everything I'm discussing are purely allegations

    Imagine having an art style similar to AI and being accused of using it 😬 We are definitely living in interesting times
  • @fruit3193
    Solid W for real artists. I really like that you emphasized the good art in this video too, instead of focusing on the negativity of AI art.
  • @RylixBlizzai
    it's comforting to learn that laws are being put in place recognizing ai generated images as exactly what they are, other people's actual art cut up and stitched back together gives me hope that there'll always be a place for creatives in work, seeing as companies won't like the idea of not being able to copyright stuff
  • @gotch8548
    31:58 Thank you for your comment about my Melmetal! It's very encouraging!! Melmetal is also happy!
  • @menkomonty
    Really loved the artwork that you showed off from the artists. The bidoof made of felt has to be my favourite because it's so damn adorable💘
  • @orsonzedd
    The Pokemon Company needs to let their artists draw off model more often than they do. I remember the early TCG and those cards have such memorable art.
  • That last charizard definitely caught my eye too. Easily the most emotional piece submitted for me. Those who recognize minior’s lore know that that minior is dying. Charizard is recognizing that some Pokemon only fly at the very end. It’s very emotional to me that charizard is sharing in minior’s final flight. In alola, you summon charizard to fly for convience. But minior isn’t able to experience that luxury.

    I’m glad they’re selecting other entrants in lieu of the disqualified entries. I’m mostly curious if any entrants who posted their art online after seeing the results are no longer going to be considered because the rules state it can’t be previously published works.
  • @lambybunny7173
    Tbh I'm still not too sure about the "AI is here to stay" comment, because that's what people said about NFTs. All tech fads nowadays die out like this in favor of the new stupid shit that tech bros can get their hands on
  • @TaliesinMyrddin
    I can't say I expected you to cover more controversial/dramatic community news stuff so quick after making the channel (hah, I see now you've tagged it as drama too) but big respect for doing so AI has no place in art, especially in competitions
  • @dany_fg
    Why not have them submit a video recording of them creating the art? It won't eliminate AI art completely but it would make it extremely hard for cheaters to cheat
  • Truthfully, TPCi should ask for an appropriate social to both confirm the artist's credentials and to promote the artist.
  • I only draw a bit on paper as hobby, but I used to be in a band and we wrote original music, and let me tell you seeing AI take over in every art form and autotune too in music makes me so mad. The human imperfections make art, Art! Loved the artworks you showed by the way!
  • @LPSRosyYT
    I actually have a friend whose art gets confused with AI a lot. It’s really sad because they have a gorgeous art style. It’s sadly just in that semi realistic style.
  • I think any art contests need to have progress pictures as a requirement along side their final entries, that would hopefully be an easy way to distinguish between real and ai art.
  • I could be tripping but i feel like I’ve seen some of these BEFORE the contest came out, maybe on some long pokemon music compilation. But like i said, i could be tripping and having a Mandela thing happening rn.
  • @samaccardi
    Really glad they're listening, and giving people whose spots were stolen a chance to be selected in the top 300.
  • @kaz-gaz
    8:01 the fact that this person is asking for credit is actually disgusting
