Does this also mean that my calculator with googly eyes glued onto it isn't eligible for the Nobel Prize in physics? This is discrimination!

Well no, there’s no Nobel prize for math. Maybe it can claim a Field’s Medal instead.
Why math?
it surprises me that anyone disagrees with this. i am not anti ai at all but why would we hand out awards to ao generated stuff? whats the accomplishmennt?
Well done! I love seeing AI get it's feelings hurt.
I wonder how this will affect stunt work, as studios are using AI more and more frequently to deepfake the actor's face onto the stuntman's performance. While it's still like 98% human performance on-screen, that 2% - the face - is really important for it to be replaced with AI-generated material.
The article only calls out the "Acting" and "Writing" categories, and the language suggests they are mainly concerned with a human doing the actual substantive work. So in this case, stunt work that is duly credited will probably still be eligible, even if they alter it as you suggest. The whole point of stunt work is to have a stand-in do it, but have it look like the main character in the final product.
Even before AI ate everything, a lot of visual effects have been created with CGI, and they still gave out Oscars for visual effects.
