Lol, they added a "Location" to the winners (winner characters)

I guess it's more about the characters than only AI-generated images.

In a CNN article titled, "The first Miss AI has been crowned — and she’s a Moroccan lifestyle influencer," fashion journalist Jacqui Palumbo writes, "Meet Kenza Layli, a Moroccan lifestyle influencer who hopes to bring 'diversity and inclusivity' to the AI creator landscape.

That's the real problem, isn't it? Not the original character contest, with a clear setting. But others promoting the characters as if they were real people.
