The “soul” of a work is in the line you trace from the maker to the intended viewer.
An artistic style is only muscle memory. A practiced physical process of the hands and brain. When the work is finished, it remains as a record of the artist’s time, body, skill, and intention.
To all the AI photo forensics out there that claim AI generated images "have no soul"
Please help me understand why this image is soulless. This is from Midjourney v5.1, no edits or anything.
Can you even tell this isn't a real photo? I don't see any obvious giveaways here.
