There's no truly objective way to score a bodybuilding contest
There's a very easy way, with AI + computer vision.
Simply make a synthetic "ideal physique" -- with perfect size, symmetry, conditioning, proportions, etc. -- and have a machine judge competitors on their similarity to that ideal. I could program it in an afternoon.
This would do away with the tanning and homoerotic posing which has, for years, been quite ridiculous.
Computers won't ask for blowjobs or force you to "pay your dues," either.

Cope. Not my problem.
