Woman's iPhone photo of son rejected from Sydney competition after judges ruled it could be AI

Suzi Dougherty was chuffed when a happy snap she took of her son on her iPhone turned out so well. She was so happy with the sharp, colour-saturated picture of him posing with mannequins at a Gucci exhibition that she had a copy printed off for her mum and entered it in a local photography competition. Four judges considered the photo – and they loved it. They were suspicious it had been generated by artificial intelligence. Dougherty jokes that she's just upset she didn't win.
