Just because I could, I asked ChatGPT to produce a picture with the title of the one I submitted to 2024 photo contest:
Madame Irma & El Senyor de les Baldufes

This is what it came up with:
A whimsical and magical depiction of Madame Irma, a mystical fortune teller, alongside El Senyor de les Baldufes, a performer specializing in spinning tops. Madame Irma is an elegant, older woman with flowing, mystical robes, adorned with jewelry and a scarf, sitting by a glowing crystal ball. El Senyor de les Baldufes wears a flamboyant outfit with bright colors, holding a spinning top in motion. The background is a lively, surreal marketplace illuminated by lanterns and filled with colorful stalls. The style is imaginative, detailed, and slightly surreal, capturing a sense of wonder and fantasy.

For a direct comparison, this is what my photo looks like:


And this is another version ChatGPT gave me:
