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?

I believe it's due to AI's limited ability to generate localized texture details effectively, often resorting to the use of highlights as a concealment strategy.
