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?

It’s just the typical aesthetic model used and isn’t inherent to the tech itself. It’s very easy to make AI images in specific art styles, with the result that you can’t tell they’re not real.

This is actually something of a pet peeve of mine - people sharing AI images never use styles other than the generic shiny one, and so places like Reddit.com/r/midjourney are filled with the same exact style of images.

Edit: if you’re looking for other style inspiration ideas, this website is a great resource for Midjourney keywords: https://midlibrary.io/styles

Is it easy? Are you aware of any good tutorial content on this? I have libraries of images I'd like to feed into generative models. Think gritty, noisy stuff. I'm just not aware of how to do it.

I just edited my post and added a link to https://midlibrary.io/styles, which might give you some ideas.
