Yes indeed, and as you can probably tell from my post I was struggling to articulate what what different but you are right about the eyes.
I enjoy restoring old photos and use various software so I've played about with some of these out of curiosity even using AI software.
The strange thing is that they don't respond to enhancement very well and I found it impossible to get a good result.
Once you get over the interest in the fact that they are AI generated the reality is that from a photographic point of view they are bad photos especially by todays standards.
I find the technology interesting but concerned about OCC getting flooded with this stuff and becoming a very dull place.
"What is it that makes an AI image stand out? All the things you mentioned but something else I cant quite explain.
The Lighting, shadows, eyes , skin, objectively you can look at any one of these pieces and marvel at the realness but what is it that triggers our AI sensors? Maybe subtle depth cues where the person looks implanted into a scene or the image looks 'flat' or is it something a camera just captures a bit differently. Maybe the rigidity of the eyes mostly fixed directly at the camera maybe a bit too perfectly."
