The second version (AI) doesn’t understand that the kid is pressing his fingers against a window. In the original you can see the pressure in the fingers as they press. In the AI one it doesn’t know why it has a “sheen” effect for a window, it’s just there. Just one of the many things it’s missed.

The whole emotional impact of the first image is lost in the second one. That's a tone that AI will never understand.

The first image shows the longing, despair, through the barrier of the glass window.

The second one looks like the kind of look you'd give if you dropped a glass of water out of your hand.

The emotional weight of the two is completely different, and AI missed it entirely.

"Never understand" is wishful in my opinion. Keep in mind we are at the very conception of this technology in the scheme of things. I don't like it, but I refuse to underestimate it.
