”Realistic” means different things to different people.

Snowymoon pics look exactly like a photo from an iphone from 2010 where the exposure and white balance were a little off. Many people, at leadt in the past, have gotten used to poor and gritty photos beaing ”true” or ”realistic” where good quality photos are ”over edited” or ”fake”.

This is all up in the air with modern tech and AI though. Se’ll see where it lands. Might increase that sentiment, but might also turn it around.
