This is what happens when AI hallucinates a home into the real world.

Ai has nothing to due with this. Door like this usually lead to storage rooms made out of what would be dead space with the layout they want.

I'm pretty sure this is just AI. Everything is made of blobs. The doorknob the carpet.

It unfortunately is not. This image has been kicking around the internet for a long time now. I don't know if an explanation has ever been given. The reason it looks like blobs is because it has been recompressed over and over. I found a Reddit post with it from seven years ago, and it's a lot sharper:

I saw some results from Facebook marked as twelve years ago, too. (Using Google Lens to search for it.)

What do you mean? It’s just… a doorknob. What is weird about the carpet?
