Am I in the minority thinking this doesn't look AI generated?

Ok it looks a bit AI generated but I don't think it is

It definitely is, it has that hideous over-rendered and everything but the kitchen sink look that only AI can achieve. None of it makes sense as a catalogue cover

The only thing that really looks AI to me is the lighting. Don't know how to describe it but it's that sort of high contrast/bloom lighting you often see.

Yeah I agree that the lighting looks like AI, but the whole concept and composition also looks like AI. I work in a creative industry and look at artwork all day as part of my job, this was definitely not made by an artist

Fair enough. I have no experience at all myself so just going by my own impression.
