      It’s just a lot of HDR processing. You get this when you extend curves to maximize range and then crank the vibrancy and definition sliders to the top.

      it looks like AI because the older Stable Diffusion models had flaws that caused them to prioritize vibrancy instead of realism.

        Given the time period it was made (ie, now) it’s entirely possible there was some artist who was ordered by a manager to use more AI in their work and was forced to edit the output to try to make it look less like shit.
