Thank you, James! It’s interesting to me that the prompt didn’t mention motorcycles but they appear in the image, and flying ones as well! That creative thinking aspect of AI makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

So, you can recognize AI by the presence of some things that are purely fanciful - nobody thought to tell the computer that motorcycles don’t fly.
We saw one a few days ago in which the proportions were wrong - nobody had thought to tell the computer that distant objects look smaller.

Is there anything in that "shot" that's in SHARP focus. I can't see it. Frankly I think it looks bland.

I guess sharp focus for everything is important to some.
Leaves little to be filled in by the mind.
I've no problem with the lack of precise detail in the image.

Using this prompt in Adobe Firefly Beta 2 gave this (and many other) results. Of course, Firefly works differently from Midjourney and Dall-E and the others, and parameters like aspect ratio, and type of image (photo, illustration, painting, etc. etc. ) must be set individually and are ignored in the prompt. I doubt the camera information is considered either.
Because of Adobe's long association with creatives, they have tried to be more ethical in the training of their machine learning model and so lag behind the others. Will they ever catch up? I think they will have to, in order to stay competitive.
Since you posted your prompt, I assumed that you wouldn't object to seeing other examples here...

You refer to these entirely computer generated images as photographs. They are not. Photographs are images created by the activity of light on a light sensitive material. It's just confusing the definition of photography to call them photographs. There are also AI apps which aid in post processing actual photographs, which further adds to the confusion. When we are discussing the relationship between AI and photography we must be precise in what we are talking about.

Well, they are not hippopotamuses...
Perception...
(As in strictly by the definition?)
All photographs are images, but not all images are "photographs".
Depends on how persnickety one is.

THE MARKET ignores the whole thing; nobody would even talk about here if certain people wouldn’t keep bringing it up.
The market is not sentient is the point...flailing at windmills.
Still photography is on its heels ... first cell phones...now AI...it's a done turkey.

Most people who photograph use cell phones and don’t think in terms of AI; the people here are not typical.

The people here aren't changing the market...which has spoken.
Any govt. which can...is investing mega money into AI...it's a controlling technology...they are all over it now.
Things will only...accelerate.

Agreed.
Many people <here> are steadfast in their perceptions and opinions.
