However, a clear trend when working with AI generated images is their unique look: overly-blurry backgrounds, waxy skin textures, boring composition, and more. Together, these problems constitute what is now known as the “AI look” . Image generation has come a long way since the early days of generating cats and flowers with GANs. Today's models can generate coherent human faces, limbs, and hands. They understand exact quantities, render complex typography, and make an astronaut ride a horse.

Other products, like certain Switch 2 accessories, select amiibo, and the Alarmo clock, will also see price adjustments.
