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?

there is an "aesthetics" model

obviously, it reflects the mass preference for glosslop

secondarily it is likely due to a desire to ensure that ai images have a distinct look

This does not make sense and seems like conjecture, do you have a source?

Your link has nothing to do with genAI
