You can't talk about realistic. AA doesn't happen in nature... ;)

The current AA give the same result as if you rendered the image at a very
large resolution and then scaled it down. I think that's what AA is meant to
do. It gives smooth results. the way you'd like it to work, it wouldn't
always give smooth results, often things would look like they had not been
antialiased at all.
