    There could be multiple reasons for refusal, but Reviewers aren’t allowed to check more than one refusal box per submission. So the review ends at problem #1.

     

    Artist names, real known people or fictional character names cannot be included in titles, keywords, and cannot be used in prompts for Generative AI:

    • May not include or reference real known people 

    • May not include or reference fictional characters

    First and foremost, if this is supposed to represent an actual pope, it would be declined for lack of a model release. The moderators can only choose one reason for a rejection, and they went with a quality issue. You’re using AI. Use it to your advantage and correct for low quality.

    It’s my understanding there is a check box for AI generated images when you upload them and it asks if the image is of a reaL person I checked no because it isn’t actually the pope it’s just an AI hallucination of a man in clothing resembling what the pope wears, just like it’s not Jesus because nobody knows what Jesus really looked like.

    Zoom in and inspect more carefully. At a glance, I see issues with the net, the hands, and the pope’s face - all are poorly drawn.

    Please zoom in to 100% to check.
    Poor image quality will result in the image not passing the review.

    The image was created by nano Banana pro and the image is 4096 x 4096 light sharpening. I wrote four books on AI imge generation they’re all top ranking on Amazon. What do they expect from an AI image? Can you give me an example? The image is not the editorial slop AI image models make this is more what an actual camera would take.
    The second image was accepted. I scaled it down to post it’s also 4096 SQ and was accepted, same exact technique. I don’t think it’s a quality issue it’s probably that they have a “look” that they want and a artistic image is not it.

    This image should not have been accepted. I looked at it for ~5 seconds, and see issues with the hands, some of the faces and the edges of the paper cups.
