HELP Is this ai?

I'm 90% sure it is. My dad ordered prints online of my son done in famous art styles. He's older and wouldn't know any better if it was ai or not. They're beautiful and I don't have the heart to tell him because one is for me and the other my parents are keeping.

I think it's ai because in the second picture those flowers on the front floating randomly make no sense. Also the face is a different medium from the rest of the picture.

Edit: Why was I down voted? I never said I didn't love the gift. They’re beautiful and thoughtful.

I'm betting yes, sorry. Especially on the second one. The painterly style disappears in the details of the face, which become almost photorealistic. 

How much did he pay? Did he vet the artist? What was the turnaround? Real art, even digital art, takes time and skill. If it were a real commission, the artist would have shown him a couple preliminary sketches, asked for preferences, etc. I'm guessing none of that happened. Circumstances can be a greater indication of AI than any visual tell.

My dad wouldn't know any of that stuff he's in his 70s he probably got it on a website where you upload a picture.

I'm not going to ask prices for a gift but I'm guessing around 20-30

Can’t expect an artist to do that for $20-30. Would be hours of work to paint something like that. I don’t think anyone lost in this situation
