I have been playing around with AI generated pictures and short animations and I keep running into the same problem something may look great at first but the more you look at it the more little problems you see.

For still images it is usually things like strange textures or details that do not match up. But with motion it is even more obvious. Loops do not feel smooth the lighting changes at random times or some parts of the frame act differently from frame to frame.

It seems to me that quality in visual AI is not just about how sharp or real something looks it is also about how consistent it is over time.

I want to know how other people here feel about this. Do you care more about realism, smooth motion or how well the frames fit together?

I was just playing around with an old picture in Wallpaper Engine and added some very small movement to it. Not too much, just a little movement to make it look deeper.

At first, I didn't think much of it but now it just feels better every time I look at my screen. It's not completely still anymore.

What surprised me more is that normal wallpapers now seem kind of boring.

I wonder if anyone else has had the same thing happen after they started using animated wallpapers or do you still like things that are completely still?
