FWIW, I totally agree with this. It’s quite good as a quick ‘impression’, and amazing that it knows to generate something similar in the reflection. This is just one of those things that separates fake from real. Even though it’s subjectively pretty good, it’s not good enough imagery from my perspective to use or to call it indistinguishable from a photo. It all depends on what the goal is, but the title of the piece does make the claim ‘these are not photos’, which from my perspective is establishing the goal posts and easy in this case to argue. The reasons that this is surprisingly good is an example of the story behind the image, it’s surprisingly good when you know how the image was made. In that sense I’m a little bit wrong above about the AI imagery lacking a story. ;)
