Had a guy tell me my AI art looked like stock photos and he was right

I was cranking out these landscape images for a client in Austin last month, all generic mountains and sunsets. Someone on a critique thread said they looked like they came from a free stock site, no soul at all. So I stopped using the same default prompts and started mixing in specific weather conditions and lens distortions, and the difference is night and day. Has anyone else had their style called out like that?

Honestly, is it really that big of a deal? Someone said your art looked like stock photos and you took that as a personal attack? I've been making digital images for years and people say all kinds of stuff. Half the time they're just trying to sound smart online. You changed your prompts and that's fine, but acting like it was some huge moment of growth seems a little much. Most normal people can't tell the difference between a default AI landscape and one with specific lens settings anyway. It's just a tool, not a statement about your soul.

Hey @xena_fox39, isn't it a bit dismissive to say growth moments aren't real?
