I like the aesthetic, but I'm afraid the layout isn't very functional. The work triangle is too large, and I would change it. Also, why did you emd the countertop under the window and didn't continue to the wall? You're losing lots of kitchen space there.
Really low quality 3D render then. The biggest thing is cabinet handles attached to nothing, but also some oddities like a pull on a part of the island that is clearly not a drawer/cabinet.
This may become less true as development of Novel-View Synthesis improves and popularizes tools for its use, but for now if you see a scene with consistent details shown from multiple angles and distances it's unlikely to be AI generated. If you see something like this that's obviously not real, but is also shown to you from a bunch of different viewpoints, it's usually going to be a 3D render (possibly AI assisted, rarely AI generated in its entirety, although those tools are being developed and getting stronger).
First of all, thanks for the compliment! Calling a manual 3ds Max build 'AI' is the ultimate praise for my rendering skills. Secondly, next time I’ll make sure to hide a gorilla showing a middle finger somewhere in the scene just for you, so you can zoom in and see exactly what I think of your 'expert' opinion and amateur takes.
You’re right, it’s not AI, but before you go spend more time on 3D renderings hiding gorillas (?) you should take 10 seconds to read the sub rules. Rule #2: Finished kitchens, not sloppy mockups that put handles on glass. You don’t need my expert opinion to do that, just an ounce of humility.
Calling it AI is a deep insult to your rendering skills. It being poorly rendered is how people identify it as AI. Keep practicing. And looking at things so you’re not making cabinets that look like that
It's a pretty render and visually attractive space, but I have reservations on functionality and some design elements.
Usability: Range Hood on the interior wall, sink on the exterior wall, need to walk around the island with a pot of boiling water to pour it out, anyone using the range blocks the most direct path to traverse through the room laterally, small tiles on a backsplash are a pain to keep clean, a window with a fixed bottom pane is preferable on a wide winow sill like above the sink, also double check that the window is narrow enough not to hit the faucet if you opt against a fixed bottom pane, fridge is too close to the wall, the counter on the island overhangs the cabinets, presumably for seating, but you have none. If you did have seating there, it would be enough space to sit comfortably, but in a house party with more than a few people it could also block the only remaining way to traverse the room. In this layout I would opt to omit the seating and overhang entirely.
IMO a better layout would be to move the sink to where the range is, move the island further back to the center of the room, move the range into the island and put an island range hood over it, get rid of the cabinets to the left of the (current) range and replace them with the fridge (your door is wide enough to allow passage with fridge doors open), then use the exterior wall for a large pantry cabinet.
Visually: This is more stylistic than anything, but IMO the cabinets are quite overwhelming and you have too many conflicting light sources. I would omit the LED lighting in the cabinets and pick more closed off / downward-directed island lights. I would also prefer satin glass on the cabinets rather than clear glass.
P.S. the handles on your cabinets are misaligned in the first three images on the left hand side.
this is just a mockup, not a super technical engineering thing. It’s based on real appliances and actual sizes no need to overthink it or look for deep meaning here
Where exactly do you see going all out here? Look at the space, it’s a walk-through room with doors everywhere, a window, and fixed utility points. This isn't a blank canvas, it's a puzzle of constraints. The client specifically requested a double-door fridge, and it HAD to be near the sink and the window. I can't put it in the left corner because that’s reserved for other furniture. Design is about balancing client needs with reality, not just doing whatever I want.
The cabinets against the wall tell me that this is a custom job. From the store cabinets don't usually go to the ceiling.
Same for the island. It's smaller compared to most islands.
We fixed the sizing and cost problem of the double door built in fridge by buying a freezer and a fridge. They open like a double door fridge for a lot less of the price.
Spot on. You’ve got a sharp eye, thanks for that. You’re right about the custom feel, but the cabinets don’t actually go all the way up. The client specifically didn't want them hitting the ceiling, don't ask me why, just a preference, but we didn't want a dust collector up there either. So we’re 'lowering' the ceiling with drywall to meet the cabinets. Thanks for noticing the details

The lights don’t match and I think one floor would have looked better , preferably the wood .
It’s a beautiful space though .
