AI has a certain semi-animated look to it.
It’s tantamount to being able to recognize a painting from the style of the artist.
AI has a particular style that is seen in all of the images generated by it.
There is AI, and then there is AI.
Some deepfake photos are so realistic, that you would never know if you weren't told. Others look kind of cheesy, and have a certain plastic, artificial tone to them. The council photo fell more towards that end of the spectrum, and is really more like an artist's rendition than a photo. And for all the smarts that some think AI has, one thing it can't do, is render text accurately. Not so intelligent if you ask me.
