Thank you for your kind response but I think there is something that we don’t agree on here. Please look at my answer on this thread for that part, I think it would be pretty self-explanatory: Concerns About "Most Creative" Winner - #2 by Hok_Oma
About “Why Google did this?”, tbh I am not really sure and I am not the type of person to speculate. From a logical perspective " frame it as though the concept of an AI personal assistant for personal computers was born during the Gemini competition" doesn’t seem like a very likely case since a lot of previous versions of these approaches already reached to people even out of the technical space.
In the link that I send, I try to explain the reasoning behind the “a drawing game with AI” choice, but I too can’t seem to put my hand on some of the others very well. My opinion was:
- For specific categories, since they were specified as being the “most” at that category, the other criteria wasn’t as relevant.
- But even with this information, the results such as “Most Useful App” are still a bit weird, yes. As I’ve said, I had to use Jayu as a scapegoat. This was a critique on the general judging process.
I don’t know much to know the exact reasoning behind the judge’s actions.
