There's nothing wrong with just automatically dismissing AI created art in the context of a contest. We don't allow horses to enter marathons, because even though they're fast it's not for them. We don't even allow people to use performance enhancing drugs, which might be a closer comparison.

Should we "condemn" the judges of chess tournaments for not allowing live coaching and chess AIs?

My argument for condemnation was not for disallowing participation but about hiding/denying the fact that they did judge that artwork to be really good.

If the chess community would assert that computers are worse than humans as chess and couldn't ever match human play, and when someone won a chess tournament with forbidden computer assistance the judges of that tournament would instead of saying "yep, the win was due to a forbidden advantage, so we disqualified that participant" rather hide the fact and go "no, that didn't happen, obviously human reasoning won all the games", then we should absolutely condemn them for that hypocrisy.
