Ask HN: Why are AI generated images so shiny/glossy?

I’ve noticed a lot of the time you can tell an image is AI generated because it has a shiny/glossy lighting look to it.

Has anyone figured out why this is the case?

Models have Goodharted themselves into oblivion. That's the result of endless cycles of aesthetic preference optimization, training on synthetic data, repeat ad nauseam.
