Looking really intently at the cabinets in the background

 So part of this is NSFW-adjacent, but not seriously:

I am on a certain adult dating site. I've been on it for years, mostly for fun. 

Recently, as could be believed, there are a lot of bot profiles with AI pictures.

And what has made me very good looking at cabinets. Of course, some of what I look at is just the foreground. And using some common sense: why is this woman who looks like a model revealing her entire face on a dodgy site, for strangers? Something is being sold here!

But also, I've started looking at the cabinets. Or furniture. And I've started noticing lots of furniture that doesn't make sense. Tall, narrow cabinets on the wall that only have things on one shelf, and when I look at those things, they are indescribable little knick-knacks. Sure, sexy looking model lady, it is nice to see your cabinet, with a glass door, over your bed, where you have a shelf with a scattering of little figurines I can't quite make out.

The other thing about this is, a lot of these weird background details are not impossible. There are all sorts of interior decorating trends I don't know about. Most of them don't break the laws of physics. But I've just started to suspect that every gestalt I see just doesn't quite make sense.

So my grandmother actually did have this weird headboard thing that was also a "china cabinet." It had glass light fixtures built-in and glass doors on one section that I can remember. My life's mission since has been to find another one. It seems likely it was someone's personal project that she bought at an estate auction.

My question is, why has AI been trained on such a narrow scope when I can't find another one??

I definitely get what you mean, though. I recently went through the process of trying to hire someone and we had to be careful even with that.
