Can AI really generate realistic images?
In short, yes, AI can generate realistic images. In fact, the image at the top of this article was created in Venice with the simple prompt: Create a photo of an oceanliner at sea in a storm.
With advancements in technology, AI image generators like DALL-E 3 and Venice.ai have achieved impressive results in creating photorealistic photos from text prompts. In many cases, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between an AI image and the real thing.
These AI tools can produce high-quality images that match the given prompt, making it possible to create everything from casual selfies to celebrity photoshoot-style portraits with hyper-realistic detail. Keep in mind that certain AI models are more capable of creating realistic photos than others, so as a user, knowing the model and platform’s capabilities will help deliver the results you are looking for.

How to craft realistic AI images with Venice
Venice provides various settings that users can manipulate to change the results of their AI text-to-image prompts. In the following examples, we’ll show how you can use two different models paired with different image styles to create realistic AI images.
But first, here’s how you can alter your image prompt settings to help generate realistic images with Venice’s AI.
Step 1: Select the image prompt and click the Setting gearwheel
Step 2: Select the model you would like to use (the team at Venice likes FLUX and Fluently XL Final for realistic images). Also, select the image style – cinematic and photographic can generate realistic results but test what works best for your image.

Three example AI prompts of realistic images generated by Venice
In our first example, we create a realistic image of a street without people present, resulting in a detailed shot that looks as if a camera took a photo of a vacant street.
Prompt: Create a realistic photo of a 1950s neighborhood street.
Model: Fluently XL Final
Image Style: Photographic
In our second example, we change the prompt to be location-specific and direct the AI model to generate an image of people walking down the street. We also test a new model called FLUX which slightly changes the results.
Prompt: Create a realistic photo of people walking on the busy streets of Shanghai.
Model: FLUX
Image Style: Photographic
In our final example, we’ll show how we can apply a cinematic style to an image of a single person. This results in a realistic image that resembles a still image from a movie.
Prompt: Create a photo of a man thinking with a drink in front of him at a bar.
Model: FLUX
Image Style: Cinematic
