The “realism” game is now over

Looking at the two images above, can you tell me, with 100% certainty, which image is AI and which is one was shot by a professional photographer? Let’s begin by pulling the shots apart. The shirt in the right image is far less detailed in pattern and texture and it lies way too flat at the waist line. The face looks too polished and there are few shadows in that right image too. For that matter, the coloring is really askew in the image on the right. It just looks a little AI fabricated.

So the correct answer to the AI question is, naturally… The one on the left is AI. Yes, the image on the right was a photo I picked up on Freepik.com (click here to see another photo with this model). You can see how I created this original AI in this article here.
