But I totally recognised what the author was talking about, and I'm seeing it more and more! Everything starts to look imagined more than seen, the characters are covered in artefacts that make them look like aliens acting as humans, I sometimes find it viscerally off putting like I want to be sick looking at their creepy faces.
I'm surprised that people want side by sides as the examples all seem quite glaring to me, but it's interesting to see how different people take different things from images.
I wonder if some people are more (or less) sensitive to such things. I absolutely would need a side by side to understand what's even being discussed.
Imagine there's no countries....
On another side, we have the recent "washing and flattening" of the films by AI for no reason but to "look better" for those who aren't really going to invest their energy to see where it gives worse results.
"It is expedient and profitable if people don’t remember what film is supposed to look like."
And there are also enough who have never seen how it looked like before, anyway.
