I've played alot more now than when I made that comment and most of it has more consistency and doesn't look or feel ai but then occasionally one comes up and my gut is just screaming at me that something is wrong
within the first 2 minutes there are 3 different images of the sister of vastly different quality and style it's very jarring and makes it hard to not to think that the portrait one is ai because of how different it is to the other 2, then the first class dream with the dean has 2 consecutive images that have some of the details that ai fails to keep consistent change from one image to the next (hair length for example was the main thing that jumped out at me, it's like 30% shorter in one of them compared the the one before it) and her character is the most ai looking amplifying the feeling
the main thing isn't quality it's the differing style even in the same character, like willow especially sometimes it feels like someone else had to have made some of the images cause it's just that different, the body features and shading style change completely from one image to the next
one thing that I had seen pointed out that gives the gut feeling of ai art is extreme contrast but an overall neutral value (if you take the image make it greyscale and normalise the value across the whole image you get a neutral grey tone) because it starts out as black and white noise and is iterated until it resembles what it's supposed to, giving you very bright highlights and very dark shadows that most artworks don't use (and most professional artists I've seen on youtube recommend avoiding extreme value and saturation ranges unless you want it to look incredibly unnatural so that tracks with what I've learned about art), which is probably why the dean feels ai because of the very contrasty specular highlights and the very dark blue shadows
on a more positive note I am enjoying it quite a bit, just occasionally the art is jarringly inconsistent (sorry if it comes across as otherwise but I am trying to be constructive here)
