There's something about AI images that just gives it away. A certain glossiness. Subjects are usually too perfect. I find this is even more obvious out in the wild.

I have a theory that AI images in the wild will mostly continue this trend because the people making these images like it that way. Deceiving people is not the only reason people make images.

Does AI enable deception? Sure, but so does Photoshop, and that is decades old. Arguably, Photoshop requires more effort, but it seems like AI image generators still require effort on the part of the humans, if nothing else to select images that can fool, at the cost of other desirable features in images.
