Yeah, take a look at this photo: https://i.redd.it/rfvm4j1j9m391.jpg

Looks like a lot of improvement to me.

Somewhat, you can still see how the sky looks unnatural from the HDR effect which just ruins everything. The top is a more natural realistic sky. Shoreline is kinda weird too.

I see what you are referring to.

But I don’t think it is just simple HDR tonemapping, it doesn’t do that, but rather some type of color grading going on. The bottom is over saturated and over contrasty.

Dunno about "a lot". Certainly, it's improved in the area of modeling humans and faces, but landscape still looks pretty much the same.
