Well, I guess the case is sorted.
I must admit I had some doubts when looking at the perfect lettering and a couple of details in your pictures.
I was convinced about your explanation, for what it is worth, and took note of a few good techniques.
My only doubt is about the letters: I understood they were carved by your purple cutters, but I didn't understand what they are made of.
And, as I said, Opus didn't believe that was an AI.
Thank you for taking the time to review my pizza. Almost all the ingredients were chosen by my 14 year old son except pineapple. He loves all Italian food and drinks. While our family eats rice every day, his staple food is pasta. He even claims to be Italian, stating that an Italian would never eat pineapple on pizza.
Actually, we wanted to put burrata cheese in the center, but no one sells it in our town, and our attempts to make burrata cheese failed, so we ended up using mozzarella. For the alphabet shaped vegetables, he chose horseradish after we couldn't get yellow pepper or yellow zucchini. At least we chose ingredients that, even though they are not familiar to be put on pizza, Italians (the country where pizza originates) eat them. My wife want to use cooked young bamboo for alpabeth vegie but my son said he never see on social media Italian eating young bamboo.
If I remember correctly, there was a similar issue in last year's Bitcoin Pizza Day contest, perhaps just to create discussion around the entry. Someone's work was accused of being help by AI , but in the end that person won the contest. Because of situations like that, it sometimes looks as if people claim an entry is help with AI when it actually isn't.
In this case, did JayJuanGee really say it was AI generated or have some help with AI? As far as I can see, he only said it looked fake and I think those are two different things. Something can look fake without being AI generated.
Maybe JayJuanGee meant fake in the sense that the pizza looked too perfect or unrealistic, almost like something you couldn't actually eat. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm quoting JayJuanGee's response because he was the last person to respond to shahzadafzal's post. Furthermore, his comment expressed disappointment at having awarded my pizza a merit. I also want to address this thread to him and say, "Don't worry Bro, you're not wrong to award my pizza a merit. Even though the result is far from perfect, my family and I made it with dedication and joy with our hand in our house. Thanks for the merit"
Fyki, all the ingredients are edible, even the eggplant and zucchini have been grilled and seasoned. This is indeed our first time making pizza sauce from pesto paste, and we were amazed at how delicious it tastes. So in this 2026 bitcoin pizza contest, we're exploring another Italian taste.
