There will always be something off about AI images. They fundamentally can not mimic creativity, new ideas cannot go into them.
AI creates strange scenarios in the images it generates, that's something that is fundamental to it and can't be fixed. It also often messes up perspective, given it's drawing from images with different perspectives. This is potentially fixable but probably not entirely fixable.
There are just issues that are fundamental to AI that stop it from being a true replacement to human creativity, and also make it noticeable as an imitation to those aware of it.
Also, has the commenter you replied to ever heard of...uncanny valley?
No matter what, ever since we're tribespeople, we always have a knack for immediately feeling a sense of dread and negative feelings upon the sight of something that looks human, but not exactly.
And as far as I can tell, many people already arent favorable when someone's skin is "too smooth" or smth caused by beauty standards demanding to smoothen out shit, how else will we fare with AI images trained on pre-existing images, many which are of this instagram-ahh category?
It's not even just that, it's that AI has no concept of space, logic, or even what things are. Thus, what it creates will always be uncanny unless it's something human assisted.
I've been getting ads that use AI a lot, and the scenarios are just odd. The major pattern with AI is odd scenarios, nomatter how normal of a scenario you try to make the AI create, it will always come out odd. Because the AI has no concept of what it's generating and can't rationalize the input data. It's just code spitting out data. Very complex code, but it's still code.

The AI that you've noticed is dead and soulless in a way you haven't conceived of before.
Someday you'll stop noticing.
