@Shine:
It's less of a science but rather reflecting on what you think when you vote for something. At least that's how I would call it.

edit: I think Oswald is just thinking about what lame meme he might come up with next. ;)

Try wrapping your minds around this. These are the facts....

As far as I can see, facts, recent gfx compos (Fjälldata, Zoo, Transmission, ...) are still listing the same old hardcore tops. Not sure who's been chasing who?

As for rating, never been that academic about it, and I don't vote, but the originality / theme / concept seems to be most important to me. The style, composition and technique are usually a matter of the artist's persistence, compulsive behaviour and stamina. Which I respect alot, great art never comes easy, but I don't think it's the most surprising factor for me.

AI doesn't do well on originality, mind, only when it's a funny generated meme that makes me laugh. But I guess that's also depending on the person who's typing in the fucked up prompt. :P

@Hein:

I meant (and wrote) how the graphicians were chased away from the discussion, how it seems they've been silenced. Not that they ceased releasing. I hope it doesn't get to that.

But perhaps we should all go away and leave Harry and Lloyd to exchange memes they fail to understand and laugh like crazy.

Some people are only submitting pictures for 3 parties next year...

Actually, I didn't want to comment any further because I see such discussions as wasted time, but I'm a bit annoyed by it all and so I'm going to make my last post about these things.
I was away from the demoscene for 14 years because of family. I had already left the C64 scene in 1993 because the groups started to fight each other. After all that time I felt like doing something again and it started with “Fallen Heroes” as a tribute to lost friends.
For my part, I can say that I make all the graphics myself and don't use AI. If you use AI or your own mistrust to check whether I have created my images with AI, you are welcome to do so, I am honestly no longer interested. I do it all because I enjoy it. In the future, I'll handle it in such a way that I'm no longer interested in other opinions because they may be based on a false foundation. If people don't trust me, why should I trust the judgment/opinion of others?
From now on, I will no longer rate any work and ignore the entries for my releases. And no, I won't record videos just to satisfy others, because I work on different computers and if I always have to invest time beforehand to prepare the recording for 5-10 minutes of pixelling in between, then it takes the fun out of it. And it's a shame that hardly anyone understood Critikill's gag with “you're AIrested”.
Let's see, maybe I'll move away from the C64 stuff again and go back to the PC, because not much seems to have changed here.

Yes, you're right, because for more I don't have time, because I have a job and a family.
It's a hobby not the single point of my life.

- actually demanding from artists to record themselves to validate their works is nothing else than putting them under surveillance. This is the Demoscene, not some Orwellian nightmare club.

- even videos can and will be faked easily. YouTube is full of digital artists doing exactly that.
