Motion-blur AI portraits show how far image model realism has come

azedai shared a set of AI-generated portraits that convincingly mimic long-exposure film photography: subjects rendered in heavy motion blur with overlapping red/blue lighting, yet with realistic hair, skin texture and atmospheric light falloff.

This "blurred but authentic" look has historically been hard for image models to stabilize, and the set suggests current models have improved markedly at dynamic blur and lighting mood control.
