DNTM AI Scoring
I asked AI to take a stab at judging this week. It feels like a cool idea since it is an AI competition to let AI take over. I fed it the exact prompt, and told it to judge it like a modeling competition. Because it put my photo first, I edited the prompt to include a note to not favor any image in particular, especially not any that it knows I had a hand in making (I have obviously done my own photo but it also has seen me work on other model's photos in the past for fun when I do my critique blogs). I told it to judge as if seeing all pictures for the first time and rank them without bias. It included a chart with the scores, and some details about each (more details for top photos). It also gave details about its scoring rubric.
RUBRIC
If I were judging this as a Top Model competition, I'd weight the score more heavily toward the model than the overall artwork.
Scoring Rubric (100 points)
Modeling & Pose (40) – Editorial posing, body awareness, elongation, tension, interaction with the moon.
Fashion & Styling (25) – Garment, styling, makeup, accessories, couture quality.
Prompt Execution (20) – Is the moon clearly the centerpiece and integrated into the pose?
Editorial Impact (15) – Does it look like a high-fashion campaign rather than fantasy art?

Excellent pose.
Unfortunately it reads more science-fiction than couture.

and didn’t gpt give my photo the win last week too?! my favorite judge wbk
Marquis Yes you were scored highly last week by Chat.
This is fun!
Nora agreed. Even when it had me placed lower in other weeks I liked it. I think since it’s an AI game it makes sense to include an AI judge. Maybe AI is like one judge on the panel with other human judges in the future?
What a coincidence the chatgpt that made your picture likes it the best LOL
CupidStunt I have done this each round and it was not first in other rounds. But to be sure that's why I added all the extra prompting to make sure it wasn't being biased. Obviously still a chance it is but I told it not to like 5 or 6 different ways and it didn't change the order this time.
Well at least someone appreciated my photo, thanks Chat GPT
I have try this too . ChatGPT gives different result in others users ( I had try it with some friends a lot times ) it’s fun
Dimitra I figured. I would want to use a completely unrelated account. But I did it like 5-6 different ways of insuring it didn't favor images. I also tried to manually override the scoring criteria it chose and that completely changed the ranks and it scored me lower so I know it wasn't just favoring my image. I did this for other rounds and it had my photo much lower as well (rightly so).
Goomybear Yeah, it always gives different results. Sometimes the exact same prompt will rank a photo first, and later it’ll rank that same photo last. But it’s still fun to mess around with.
Dimitra but what I like about this format is that if gives the weight% of how it is judging, and that it scores each photo in each category. It removes personal taste from it and just goes on the criteria. This would not have been my order (I would not be first, Medusa wouldn't be that low, and others would be changed as well)
