Thanks challenge up
 
H'mm if there not more entries for the latest challenge, I would suggest the challenge is discontinued?
 
It has had a good run.
 
Oscar wild might have said:- the only thing worse than losing is winning o_O.......maybe some (many) members don't enter because if they win they have to set up a new challenge.
 
Before the world wide web we had usenet and bulletin board systems, they waned when the www came along and gave us forums, then we got smart phones and social media which have diminished the use of forums and now we have AI at the top of every google search, "what's the best lens for ..." AI will tell you, "How do i do ... in photoshop" AI has a quick response.

I think there will be a period when forums become very quiet because people will never bother with a link to something like TP when what they need is in the box at the top of google. The issue will come when no one is posting answers on forums and the like for new gear and software so there is nothing for AI to scrape for its responses. Where will AIs in future will get up-to-date information if no one is posting it on open forums?

Maybe this might help reduce the AI reliance?

I don't want to remove AI from my life, I use it a lot and any individual doing something won't stop almost everyone else taking the AI response rather than posting their question on a forum.
