Re:Ask HN: Why are AI generated images so shiny/glossy? by lafeoooooo on Sunday August 18, 2024 @02:34AM (#41280568)
Q: Is AI incapable of achieving sense of reality? A: AI can definitely achieve sense of reality at the current stage, but not a universal sense of reality that applies to any scenario.

Q: From a technical perspective, why do shiny/glossy effects occur? A: Shiny and glossy effects are prominent in terms of signals. Modeling general realistic details is challenging, but current AI has found an approximation. For example, modeling a mountain with every texture and bump is complex, but if the mountain is represented as a combination of shapes, the raised parts might approximate areas with high glossiness.

Q: If we reduce its complexity, can we generate realistic effects? A: Some models trained on specific scenes at https://chatgptimage.org/ demonstrate very detailed, photorealistic results. However, this is limited to those fixed scenarios.

How to expand to more general scenarios: Using even larger models and datasets. This is how Flux achieves its realistic effects: https://www.reddit.com/r/FluxAI/comments/1erpct2/boundary_be...
