A few days ago, I launched the Unwoke AI Art contest. Read about it here.

Though you have until the end of the month to submit your entries, some people are already getting in the game, and they are coming up with some really amazing ideas!

I wanted to share a few of them here as inspiration.

For the contest, I’ve given people five different woke terms - woke, cancel culture, struggle session, white supremacy, and patriarchy - and they are supposed to use AI to create an image representing what that term means to them. I will share a few of the current entries from each category.

The selections I’m sharing represent a diverse set of images. It does not mean that I think any of the selections I’m leaving out are better or worse. Everyone is doing a really wonderful job, and I think all of the images submitted so far are interesting in their own way. Some of you are coming up with ideas I would never have thought about!

If you feel inspired by what you see, you can submit an unlimited number of photos for the contest, and we still weeks before the deadline. Just make sure you read the complete information about the contest before you dig in.
