          How is there not a ton of work being put into fixing hands in AI art? Or maybe there is and they just blow at it?

            There definitely is, and they've gotten much better. Notice how the focus of the image, the woman, is pretty good, and it gets worse and worse the further out from there. It's really, really hard for AI to do hands given how complex they are and how many poses they can take. Human artists struggle with them too.

            Part of the reason is that while these things have billions of images in their training data, few to none of them have a focus on hands, and even fewer bother to describe hands at all. As far as any image AI can tell, a human hand has the following qualities: skin tone, some number of digits, and some number of fingernails. Except humans are crazy good at pattern recognition for hands, and hands are geometrically super complicated with a vast number of possible poses, orientations, lighting conditions, and, yeah, number of fingers.

            They have incredibly complex geometry that we're pretty much hard-wired to pay very close attention to. Humans also have a really fucking hard time drawing hands.
