It's actually really obvious that they are AI generated.

Well, I guess we can now say 'artificially intelligent' has joined the ranks of 'naturally talented' in the art world!" 😂📸

Yuk, what a charlatan. However, still positive that he admitted his fakery. Some of the faces are strangely blurred in some areas. I don't have a problem with him using whatever tools he wants but honesty is important.

Artists having portfolios dating back before 2022 can be used as an approximate proxy for human art skills, especially when combined with proof-of-work.

I agree. Standing out with new original photography will be more difficult from here on out.
