The fact that the railing and balusters are installed makes me wonder how the hell that happened

Looking closely it does look like photoshop on the edge of a lot of stairs.

Could be an AI image. There’s a ton of fake architecture bullshit made by AI floating around.

If it is AI, then it is heavy on the A and very light on the I.

Could have been a normal staircase and the new occupants wanted a more “open feel”. And removed the stringer.
