This beach does not exist

Nice effort, but as with all these "this X does not exist" image generators, it gives you an uncanny feeling. Something about some of the images is slightly off, but you (or at least I) are not able to put your finger on it most of the time. One of the things I was able to put my finger on are the palm trees - some of them have leaves hanging in mid-air...

For me, what really stood out were the rocks — real rocks just don’t have those sorts of textures.

I thought they looked great at first but as soon as I started taking a closer look, everything started to look very wrong. I'm certain growing up near an ocean gave me a more critical eye.

Agreed on the nice effort comment. The ones showing the scene from a distance took me some extra time to figure out what was "off". For me it is the whitecaps on the water (if present). Some of the pictures appear to show waves going in the opposite direction of their surroundings. One of those things that when you see it, you can't really unsee it.

I was hoping to see something like in Contact where everything looks normal except something is weird. They made the waves run in reverse so they appear to be originating from the beach.

Can you share links to some others of these?

Or entire trees...
