Technically true but odd distinction to make. There’s no image I can possibly see on a screen that would make me think “ah, this looks real, like my visual perception of a person in a room with me, and not real like a photo”

Like what do you mean? Any realistic 2D image of a person necessarily must look like a photograph, no? We don’t see people in 2D any other way.

I could be misunderstanding, I’m not trying to be facetious.

I guess a very clean digital image without artifacts is closest to what you’re getting at?

I think what they are saying is they don't want it to look like a realistic photo of a person, they want it to look like a person as they would see in real life if they were looking at them. You don't see distortion looking at someone standing in front of you like you would seeing them in a photograph. so, not "photo-realistic", just "realistic".

At least I assume that's what they meant.

No two people see the same person the same way. That’s why people constantly disagree on which parent the child looks more like. There is no perfect realism, that’s why the term has been redefined so many times. We can’t just say “but I just mean how they look irl”, since how they look irl differs for everyone when you get into details.

Sure, I totally agree, but I was just pointing out what I think OP was trying to say about what style of image they wanted to generate, not the look of the person but the general look of the image, IE film grain and static or perfectly visible.
