AI pictures are often too smooth. Like you can't see pixels in photos or there's no brushstrokes for digital paintings. Here's a digital painting done professionally:
Notice on the waist how you can see where the artist started and stopped with their colors, despite the rest of the image having really good blending.
Here's the same character done by Stable Diffusion:
Zero brushstrokes. The lighting isn't stylized. The background is too in-focus.
You'll notice this with photos of people, too. There won't be any skin blemishes or easily seen pixels if you zoom in.
Yeah, here the moon is red tinted, but the reflection from the silver colored armor is neutral to blue. That's either an inexperienced artist or AI. Also, the shadows can't seem to agree on where the blueish light is coming from. The head's shadow is sorta where the moon would cast it, but then the front of the chest armor is reflecting light where it should be cast in shadow from the moon.
Also, more obviously, the sword is just floating there next to their third knee (they're standing, presumably on two legs, but their cloak appears to be just floating there in the bottom left).
Note how none of the objects are objects. The fasteners on the shoulders are smeary blobs, not representations of anything. The gem on the breastplate, on close examination, isn't a gem. It's a red blob. What is that thing sticking out of the left arm? It's nothing, it's just pixels stuck together by a machine.
