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?

The noisy pattern of the skin, combined with noise from light hitting the camera sensor, plus the noise created of image compression creates an effect that is too subtle and random to “learn”.
