I have encountered this before. One way round it is to show all the score or more of pictures you took at the same time with slight problems or issues, just to get to the one perfect shot.

But AI takes photos and uses these to create its own pictures! I know for one i could never take a photo and have it look anything near an AI creations.

I honestly don't see how it ruined photography in that sense, there are plenty of tools to enhance a photo prior to AI to make it better or stand out more. Now I can completely see AI ruining photography by recreating an image so you don't need to take the image in the first place, just let AI do it.

There was this funny period in late 00's when fashion photogs were switching over to digital. The new smooth, grainless look took over, and suddenly everyone was competing for the smoothest skin on the models. So airbrushing absolutely skyrocketed, to the degree that the models looked way more artificial than even the crappiest AI today.
Eventually, people started to really complain about the airbrushing - but specifically about the airbrushing, not the smooth look - so the fashion industry eased down on that or even stopped altogether, and instead doubled down on heavy make-up. So the end result was basically the same, but at least the photogs could claim they don't use airbrush. And then everyone forgot this was ever an issue, photoshopping became re-normalised, and things evened out.
No life lesson here, but it's funny how stuff like this keeps repeating. These days, photogs and writers avoid techniques that "look like AI", because the common folk always assumes everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of whatever the new buzzword is. Eventually it'll just blend together, like it always does.
