What are your thoughts on Artificial Intelligent (AI) generated artworks, drawings, paintings and photographs? Is this technology beneficial or detrimental to upcoming artists? Also, do you think it will make artists obsolete in the near future given a person entered AI artwork into the Colorado State Fair's fine art competition and won first prize?

I think AI is detrimental to artists but what was the criteria to enter? for basically a computer to win is wrong as it is not done by a human.

I agree with you. But regardless of of the criteria to enter... as AI keeps improving it will be harder and harder to tell that AI was used. Therefore, it would be up to the entrant to be honest if the criteria states no AI. But in a world of competition where a lot of people would do anything to win first place... I don't trust how honest people will be sadly.
Therefore, I do agree that AI used in the wrong sense can be detrimental. Not only for competitions, but also for artists as they will slowly become obsolete.
However, if the AI technology is used for own personal use... it is great as you could have any picture you dream of digitally drawn in any style you want in under 60 seconds most of the time. Which I must say is excellent for those who can't afford artwork or want something unique done without having to wait etc.
Hence, if AI generated artworks, drawings, paintings and photographs are used for personal use and not monetary I think they will be less detriment to artists. But as proven, this won't be the case making it very detrimental and hard to stop.

As a sculptor myself It never seem to be included when people talk about about art? I also went to Uni and got my degree in art. I have had many exhibitions and even wrote a book about my art practice as its clay I use and an unusual way of firing called raku . It can be quite annoying when people talk about art but never seem to include sculptor?

As far as I know, you can't use AI to make sculptures (Correct me if I'm wrong here). This is why my question specifically stated AI generated artworks, drawings, paintings and photographs.
The closest thing to AI generated Sculptures would be if somehow there was a 3D sculpting printer like machine where you could use an AI program to design the sculpture on your computer and then send it to the printer. The printer would then do the rest (Sculpt and Fire it) etc.
However, lucky for you... I don't think this technology exists. Therefore, in your context AI is not detrimental to sculptors as of yet.
