Prompting "photorealistic" makes Flux images look more like 3D renders, Reddit test shows

A Reddit user testing LoKr workflows stumbled on a counterintuitive prompt quirk: adding the word "photorealistic" made images less photorealistic.
- Setup: 25-step workflow, int8 base model, Qwen int8 CLIP, Flux2 VAE, no acceleration LoRAs
- The prompt was just a LoKr trigger plus "An image of a young woman facing the camera in a 3/4 pose"; adding "photorealistic" shifted outputs from natural photo texture to an obvious 3D/CG-render look (comparison grid attached)
- Conclusion: the author plans to stop using "photorealistic" in prompts, though the underlying cause is unclear
