Brown forces — the rules that make AI images look human

Anthropic published a technical post on the quirks baked into the models: why people look too smooth, why windows melt, why hands sprout extra fingers. The recipes are practical — change the prompt weight, shift the temperature, use a different LoRA — and the author writes them like field notes, not a manual.

The post landed with the right audience because it isn't about one model or one tool. It's about the craft of steering the thing, the way a cook seasons a dish. That's the kind of piece you bookmark and return to.

Why this matters for us: the same rules apply to the images our abuelas are sharing on Facebook — the ones that look almost real but not quite. If you know how to nudge them, they pass the eye test.
