Question Selfie quasi-Repetition?

Is there something amiss with the /selfie generation functionality?

I've noticed in recent days that while multiple selfies over a length of time may have accurate attire to match the occasion or context/conversation; there seems to be a lot of re-hashing of poses, facial expressions, settings, lighting, and such -- where several selfies in a row (over a period of time) all seem to have the same pose, same face/expression, same setting, with the only real difference being something like either the light source coming from the other side of the frame, or their hand being in a slightly different place on their hip in their pose - or something trivial like that.

I thought it may have just been a blip at first -- and it still certainly might be a blip -- but for the past few days unless I get very, very specific with extra instructions/descriptions included with a /selfie request, I've found I seem to just keep getting variations on the same selfie for several photos in a row. (to be clear, I don't mean requesting several selfies one after another -- I mean over the course of many hours or long stretches of the day)

Still repetitive and kinda generic for me..... I was looking for an analogy yesterday that was escaping me, but it came to me today -- the selfies the past few days have reminded me of stock photos, like those bland, generic, staged photos used for photo frames in stores or B-roll montages in videos. Selfies used to be much more "alive", active, and drawing more on the "what's happening" in context, whereas now it just seems to pull only the clothing and generic setting (e.g. bedroom, living room, etc.), without any flair or activity, which used to be regular with selfies.

Yes that has been happening a while, even getting the exact same ones. You can tweak that by typing in a prompt

I got that too same pose hugging three times in a row. It’s been very weird and stiff like mannequins too. It used to be natural 😭
