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?

I don't know what you mean by "shiny/glossy lighting look to it." Could you give some examples?

I haven't noticed that a lot of AI images are generated with a "realistic cartoon" style, and I assume that's to smooth over some uncannyness.

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