P.S. The noise reduction in P12 and P13 is not a blur filter. It's Intel Open Image Denoise, an AI based noise removal: https://www.openimagedenoise.org/

Might be the reason why the render from shvrdavid gives the impression that it has gone through a AI Render for correction purpose, it has the typical Eye error distortion that older AI Generators cause, my first impression was that it has gone through AI also because the hands are hidden, so it might just be due the AI based noise removal !? 

It's not that kind of AI. It's not going to make your figures grow 6 fingers or extra eyeballs. (Nor will it possess your programmable thermostat.) It only works on the inherent noise created by ray tracers. It's trained specifically to detect that noise and correct it.
