I'm guessing it's real, just shot with a phone that does a lot of "AI" postprocessing.
My Galaxy S23 will take a picture, I'll see how beautiful it is for around 4 seconds and then it will replace it - without my consent OR keeping the original - with an "enhanced" version that oversharpens everything and at the same time turns all detail into watercolor blobs that make detail vanish.
It's functionally useless, and supposed to be one of the best smartphone cameras.
Try a separate camera app. AFAIK most of the processing is done by the app itself, so if you use a FOSS camera app it will likely lack this effect.
