Define the procedure job before choosing a product

Treat “how to make ai-generated images look realistic” as a step-by-step learning request, not as evidence that a feature exists. The action implied by the query is to create a planned asset or draft; the working object is editorial topic. Write the intended audience or user, authorized input, desired change, review owner, and finished handoff. Also state what the task excludes. This brief keeps search wording from turning into an unsupported promise about SEELE, a named vendor, a model, or an automatic result. For a reversible workflow, preserve the brief version, and ask the factual editor to record disclosure clarity before the bounded test.

• Input: the highest-quality available source, provenance metadata, edit history, context, and an explicit review question For a reversible workflow, preserve the source ledger, and ask the brand reviewer to record camera logic before the bounded test.
• Success: a cautious evidence record that distinguishes observable signals from a verified origin and preserves uncertainty For a reversible workflow, preserve the control log, and ask the brand reviewer to record claim scope before the editorial approval.
• Stop condition: missing rights, consent, safety review, primary evidence, or delivery authority For a reversible workflow, preserve the input snapshot, and ask the release approver to record reversal cost before the bounded test.

Use the how-to method method

Translate the request into an input, a reversible action, a checkpoint, and a finished handoff. Practice on a duplicate or non-sensitive sample, preserve the original, and stop when authorization, account access, safety, or factual uncertainty appears. For this query, sequence the work into reversible decisions and observable review points. Keep notes about assumptions, source dates, failed checks, and human decisions beside the working asset. The how-to-guides classification determines this learning sequence, while the authoritative taxonomy remains the only owner of the route. This page supplies editorial copy and cannot silently change the category, subhub, or URL. For a reversible workflow, preserve the failure note, and ask the delivery owner to record camera logic before the editorial approval.

Apply the authenticity and provenance signals boundary

Visual appearance alone cannot prove whether media is AI-generated, real, edited, legitimate, or attributable to a named system. Avoid definitive labels without reliable provenance. Work from the highest-quality available source, provenance metadata, edit history, context, and an explicit review question. Review toward a cautious evidence record that distinguishes observable signals from a verified origin and preserves uncertainty. A polished draft is not enough: the reviewer must be able to see which source supports each factual statement, who authorized each asset or identity, and which product behavior is still an unanswered test question. Topic selection alone never establishes safety, availability, quality, or permission. Before approval, preserve the source ledger, and ask the policy reviewer to record format readiness before the source comparison.

• Preserve the original and metadata Before approval, preserve the brief version, and ask the identity reviewer to record reversal cost before the source comparison.
• Separate observation from attribution Before approval, preserve the delivery checklist, and ask the policy reviewer to record visible continuity before the delivery pass.
• Escalate consequential decisions to expert review Before approval, preserve the reference set, and ask the identity reviewer to record revision intent before the delivery pass.

Record evidence, review the handoff, and name the next check

The result should be reproducible from the written decisions while leaving product-specific buttons, limits, and account behavior to current official documentation rather than invented steps. Run separate passes for craft, factual accuracy, identity and source rights, safety, accessibility, and destination requirements. Record the source and verification date for any changing platform, model, price, policy, privacy, export, or compatibility statement. If primary evidence is missing, publish the item only as a question or editorial planning step. The finished handoff must name the approver and preserve a path back to the authorized original. For the working record, preserve the source ledger, and ask the channel editor to record control availability before the bounded test.
