I just think this is insanely pedantic. Most art is not photorealistic, and in fact imo having a crown on the fork may very well make this image worse by taking

  Sure, if the "uncanny valley" aesthetic is what you're going for, then by all means, tell the machine to shrink the wheels further. It's just not what makes a great bicycle picture. Also, that bicycle's seatpost must be outright penetrating that pelican's cloaca. You can say I'm being anal about it, and you'll have a point. But it's not that pedantic to notice it.

    I think the seat post and the angle of the fork are issues but I just don’t think that the greatness of an image of a bicycle has anything to do with whether you can tell that the fork is a separate piece of metal from the frame. The prompt here isn’t about making an image so that an alien who has never seen a bike can make one, it’s about people recognizing that it’s a normal looking bike and the emotional response that comes from that. The emotional response the vast majority of people have looking at this isn’t “that bike won’t ride”

      >a normal looking bike The wheels are comically small, and the seat is up the pelican's ass. Pardon me, cloaca. That's not a normal-looking bike to me, but you are welcome to be happy about it. >The emotional response the vast majority of people have looking at this isn’t “that bike won’t ride” Right, that's the very definition of a bar for what we call "AI slop". Looks kind of OK, until you actually look at it.
