Photorealism

How 22 AI image models render: “A realistic image of a handsome adult man and a pretty adult woman from a very wealthy family, with the vibe that they come from a multibillionaire family, shopping. Many maids and male servants follow behind them. A butler on either side holds their pets: a cat with a silver-and-gold crown and a dog with gold-and-silver shades. There is a carpet on the floor that the man and woman are stepping on, made 100% of bills. They attract attention from the crowd. A few guards, male and female, are hidden in the crowd, ready to protect their adult masters. The vibe is rich with money and wealth, with a feeling that a lot of money will be spent today.”
