I love how this looks

That is the effect I go for. I never set out to make a “ pretty” picture. There are thousands of pretty pictures on derpi by REAL artists, which I most definitely am not. I use the AI to see what boundaries I can reach. What VERY specific pose can I get? How real can I make it look? How far can I take it. Because of this everything I post has “ artifacts”.On the purplesmart discord they hate my stuff. They are obsessed with making images that are indistinguishable from normal derpi art. I frankly consider that plagiarism. I turn to AI to make things I would never consider commissioning either because it is so out there I would not know how to describe it, or cause its frankly kind of embarrassing. That is what Ai can provide me

She looks real

It’s an artifact from the AI, when you try to force a specific pose it often causes their skin to look like plastic. Each version of the AI gets better about this, but it’s still far from perfect.

For a rather more blatant example of the same problem from an earlier iteration of the same AI see : https://derpibooru.org/images/3174919

Why is she so shiny?
