Any particular reason you feel that way? I'm not seeing any telltale signs that most AI generated photos have. Not saying you're wrong, just wondering what you're seeing that I don't.

    The most obvious one to me is the missing notch in the RAM slot. And this is more vague, but AI struggles with complex perspective in images like this and the whole proportions are just a bit ‘wavy’? ‘Wonky’? Not sure what it is, but things just don’t quite line up sharply like they do on a real motherboard.

    I missed the notch. Good point. I did go back and looked closer after my post and the weird hard cutoff on the focus on the heatsink is giving weird vibes too. If it were just focus I'd expect a smoother transition. I can't fully discount that the lack of pixels is to blame, but the notch definitely is missing. As someone else pointed out, the ram position is odd too in relation to the mobo.

    Thinking about it, the power connector is in a weird spot too. Never seen one in that orientation. Usually it's vertical towards the edge of the board.

    I definitely spent more time looking for malformed shapes and details then I did component position. But at the same time, I think of that stock photo of a lady pretending to solder, but she's holding the iron by the hot part. It would be weird to not use a real mobo for a stock photo though.

    Not the same person, but look at the CPU cooler placement..

    On real motherboards the CPU is right next to the RAM. At least I don't know any exception to the rule.
