I Reviewed SweetDream's AI Photos, and the Realism Held Up
I went in skeptical. I've tested enough AI companion apps to expect that uncanny plasticky look, the eyes that drift slightly wrong, the skin that reads like a render. So when I started generating photos of my character on sweetdream.ai, I kept waiting for the seams to show. They mostly didn't. The lighting behaves, the proportions stay consistent shot to shot, and the face I designed actually keeps being the same face instead of quietly becoming someone else.
What impressed me on closer inspection was the consistency. A lot of platforms can produce one good still and then fall apart the moment you ask for a second angle. SweetDream kept my AI girlfriend recognizable across casual selfies, golden-hour portraits, and more candid setups. That continuity is the part most tools quietly fail, and it's the difference between a gallery of strangers and a believable person.
The visuals don't exist in a vacuum, either. The same character creator that nails the looks also drives genuinely natural chat that remembers what you told it, plus voice messages and calls that don't sound robotic. Stack that against the usual names like candy.ai or ourdream.ai and SweetDream's photo realism is, in my testing, the thing that pulls ahead. If lifelike images are your dealbreaker, this is the one I'd point you toward first.
