Certain image regions are harder for generators to render consistently, so they fail more often and are worth checking first. Hands and fingers frequently come out with the wrong count, merged joints, or extra digits. Text in signs, labels, and clothing often comes out garbled or melting into itself. Straight lines and structural edges can bend into impossible geometry, and busy textures such as brick, foliage, or fabric repeat in ways the real material would not. Each of these is a cue, not a verdict: real photographs also contain blur, motion, and awkward hands.

2 / 5
If the cue check comes up empty, you are probably looking in the wrong places. Generators struggle most where the image needs many small parts to agree with each other. Hands are the classic case: count the fingers, then look at the joints.
