Detractors argue AI assistance undermines the contest's purpose of showcasing genuine microscope photography, while supporters say the rules on AI tools remain unclear. The debate has reignited a wider argument about how photography competitions should handle AI-generated or AI-enhanced entries and whether existing rules need urgent updating.
