Something about this hits the uncanny valley for me.

Touched-up with AI?

    I think it might be the lighting and backdrop. They're brightly lit from one side, with a very dark background, making them really pop out. It reminds me of the lighting that was popular in 1990's formal portrait photos, which I always thought looked odd.

    Professional photography has been around for a long time. There's lots of it.

    AI basically just copies existing things.

    Ai copies professional photography.

    Photo looks professional.

    Therefore, photo looks ai.

    Professional digital editors who have existed for decades take days to to touch up photos for press releases.

    Fucking morons on the Internet in 2026: is this AI??

    I would say inexperienced, not morons. I didn't assume AI, but it did feel edited. To younger people who have more experience with ai edits vs professional editing, they're just going off what they know.

    If you assume everything is AI because it's doesn't quite look perfect, even if it's just a picture being taken because professional photography exists... You're a fucking moron and you should be called out for it.

    Has nothing to do with inexperience. If you assume everything is AI you're an idiot.

    No one’s looking at the same camera?
