AI has been better than this for quite some time now. I honestly miss this era of AI-generated images though. It was always immediately noticeably AI but created some absolutely vile Cronenberg-esque abominations that I’d consider a genuine art genre on its own. Now we just get realistic but slightly uncanny slop
This current super-realism phase is just creepy because there’s still a very tangible factor of uncanny valley in most pictures, but it’s getting harder to tell precisely where that factor comes from…

There was an utterly surreal burger commercial someone prompted that I just loved. It wasn’t really good, but it was a lot.
Scrolled through my gallery some time ago and found some of those early AI images from 2023 or so. Its insane how much has changed in 3 years.
Yeah this is like stable diffusion 3 quality
