When people talk about "photorealism" it's to describe something not real (like video game graphics and artwork) that looks almost like a real photo/video. So you don't say that a real photo is photorealistic, and if you use that word when prompting models you end up making it not realistic.
> Prompt: A REAL, ultra-photorealistic, high-end 35mm cinematic
What do they mean "Real" here ?
I think they wanted the output to appear as if it were captured in real life rather than a game engine, but failed to do so which ironically made it one of the less visually realistic examples
