That is actually a very good photo created by AI. However if I would post it, if it were an actual photo, with for example Shutterstock, it would be rejected saying it is out of focus. But maybe for AI the rules are different

Although, the right hand, on the left side of the photo, does look a little peculiar

I like the soft mood. I'll tell you a secret: usually at Adobe (I don't use SS anymore) I write "soft focus" along to the description of my own photos and they are approved

I'm not going to pay for this kind of thing, but I think you have done some nice work and created not only a very useful quality image, but I'm sure created prompts that produced these results.

Yes I am amazed at the quality and realism of the image.

Do you know that there happens to be a plastic surgery tool named Photoshop?

Especially good if you like monsters... 
These images always smell fake, but we need a nose to feel it.

Generating a decent image and AI photo retouching can take more time than taking photos... and you have to pay for AI licenses

However his hat is very fiftyish and the car in the background is terribly realistic too

The way the guy holds the gun is hilarious 
I wish I could have such an expert knowledge about producing such images.
But you could make the day of more than one mechanic...
AI is beyond you, right? And your expert eye saw nothing bad here???
Is there no risk of losing common sense with AI?

I only see something "terribly realistic" here, but it's not regarding the image itself.

Can't see the original image just the old car?

yet most critics say soon all buyers will be creating their own images rather than buying stock!  i use AI to create images i CANNOT photograph.

and there is no cost for using MJ or DALL-E

Yes, bad grip on the gun and the rear wheel is too far inside the wheel well. But... the shading and sepia effect, overall, it's a nice image for AI? Humans would do better.

but on the other side you have to pay for the model.

What the AI does is really impressive, I don't know to what extent it is better for the client to generate them by himself paying for the platforms or to buy them made in Adobe...

and...good fingers finally

mostly - now it's occ'ly onlyu showing 3 fingers (just as Disney animators did in early cartoons). but, yes, overall it's amazing

Spend your time learning something AI can't make.

They won't need us in a near future.

Midjourney vs Firefly.  Which is better?

But what would that be? Because if you put AI in an android body there is really absolutely no thing I can think of that an AI couldn't potentially do in the future.
Maybe programming AI? But how long before AI can do that too...?
And what once seemed like something  for the "far future", like out of si-fi-movie, now doesn't seem so far fetched with how fast AI is suddenly progressing.

Nitpicking the problems with these images is pointless IMHO. The technology is so new and improving so quickly.

agree completely

wasn't nitpicking about the features - it's just amusing

i strongly endorse Midjourney

havent tried firefly, but did use DALL-E for several months. i used some of the same prompts with MJ and MJ consistently produced better work for me.  the photorealistic results from DALL-E were not good enough to submit, but the MJ ones are already selling on AS

Awe you're no fun. This is the way of Microstock, and you want people to act like mature, responsible adults? "Yo Mama..."
