Composition. What's important?

After watching 60 Minutes Meet Khanmigo: the student tutor AI being tested in school districts.

I wondered how would Google Gemini answer asked "As an instructor What actionable questions should I ask of photos"

Then "As an instructor What actionable questions should I ask of wild life photos" and landscape.

Then "Based on the proceeding what are most important"
 All the answers addressed what we have, as photographers, have been told, watched and read.

Then I asked "What non photographers consider a great photo?" 
The answer "While photographers may focus on technical aspects like exposure, composition, and depth of field, non-photographers often appreciate a photo based on more emotional and aesthetic qualities. Here are some common factors that non-photographers consider when evaluating a photo:

Emotional Impact:

Does the photo evoke a strong emotion?
Does it tell a story or evoke nostalgia?
Does it make the viewer feel something?
Visual Appeal:

Is the photo visually pleasing?
Does it have a strong composition and interesting subject matter?
Are the colors and contrast striking?
Clarity and Sharpness:

Is the photo clear and well-focused?
Are the details sharp and easy to see?
Originality:

Is the photo unique and different from others?
Does it offer a fresh perspective or a new way of seeing something?
Simplicity:

Is the photo simple and easy to understand?
Does it avoid clutter and distractions?
Ultimately, a great photo is one that resonates with the viewer on an emotional level. It should be visually appealing, easy to understand, and evoke a strong reaction."

I'm not suggesting that technical aspects are not important because they are important. 

What I'm suggesting is that non photographers evaluate photos much differently.

We photographers must consider making an impact with our photos.
