All these people must make enough money that they don't care about being caught. I can't imagine how much that is to not be ashamed of what they're doing...........
As an aside, the WPPI print comp is no more but Jerry and Melissa Ghionis have taken it over and the new awards (ICON) are being VERY strict about no AI to the point that you have to submit RAW files. So there's that. But yeah the future of photography comps doesn't look great overall.

Exactly.
I'm glad I saw this as I just joined her group today, having no idea about this. I've been on the fence about buying some of her digital backgrounds.
If you want any of the Midjourney ones let me know lmao

Interesting!! I know that people have fudged RAW files in the past but I know it's harder to do.
Yea. And if you try to out her on her page, she just deletes it. At least anything posted on Photo Stealers stays put.
