It immediately looks like AI slop because nearly every square inch is filled with with something, however meaningless and useless it might be to the overall composition.
AI is good at filling an image with shit, and bad at knowing when to leave space and what isn’t necessary.
Not criticizing this in particular, but I'm genuinely curious: why is everyone talking about how obvious or not the details of the poster are as AI, when they didn't take the 30 seconds in most good image editing software to remove the sepia/yellow/brown tint all over? You could put a 100px blur on the smallest thumbnail on that page of it, and I'd still recognize it as AI generated.
Yeah, my takeaway here is less about AI, and more that these judges have no sense of taste and just gave more points to whatever packed in the most pointless details.
