@cindiezhu: hyper-realistic AI UGC comes down to one inversion almost nobody makes. You don't ask for realistic. AI hears realistic and hands you smooth and flawless, which is exactly what makes it read as AI. So you write the flaws in instead: visible pores, oil on the nose, redness under the eyes, the camera hunting for focus, the exposure shifting when she turns toward the window. Start with 5 Pinterest references rather than one, because AI softens an aesthetic every time it copies it, and generate at low res before you upscale so you're not burning credits on tests. You're not making it look better, you're making it look worse in the right places. follow for more ai that actually works ✨ @cindiezhu #claude #ai #aitips
