How many submissions for the just opened 'Chariot Race' challenge will look like this, simply prompted with the description. I suppose some might go an extra step to add a caveat that the charioteer should be a gorgeus woman.

I laughed at your caveat. I agree with your point, though I think that even without the description, running the theme through the prompt would also produce something close to this, and many submissions would still look similar. It is what the theme dictates it to be, and I think part of the onus is on us as to whether we can come up with something better than the generators, and for us not to vote for these generics when we see them.

Thanks. I agree. Such a pity they keep going back to providing a prompt in the description, despite indicating they'd stop.

DavidP

Ttvm. Absolutely. Sure you will see lots just like it in the current challenge

DavidP

🤣 yeah, maybe they should just have a hot chick challenge periodically

DavidP

I'm actually OK. I view the challenge as being a challenge to my ability to come up with something interesting, even when the theme doesn't make me excited. I'm more frustrated at how they keep reverting back to descriptions that many will just reuse, get a good result and probably make top 10. I know some would say the number of times I repeat that I don't care suggests I actually do, and of course I'd like more top 10s, but I'm OK.

There are going to be so many of them; that’s why I stray from the path and do other things, even if I don’t end up in a good position.

I have kind of given up on the daily challange. because of the voting. I felt forced to vote for schlok multiple times ... garbage that I had already dismissed

I am feeling so uninspired lately and this challenge is doing absolutely nothing for me. Really considering not entering this one unless I suddenly get a brilliant idea.

DavidP

Look forward to seeing it. I was pesented with one which I thought might have been yours. Though these days, an oriental woman is ever so common.
