Jup, that was why I initially noted the image too, like, I want it make sense & be funny ... then when I understood what was going on I just realised, in a sense, we are all goose-stretch-big-stepping in front of the guillotine of life (that is a portal). In our own stupid little way.

That background has to be AIgen, right? It's a doorway in the middle of a an open area of a church, no walls around it, leading to super steep stairs that appear to go nowhere, and... carpeted floor?

No AI, just text added onto a photo.

It's in the famous Hagia Sophia:

And this was a famous kitty called Gli:

Thank you! The uncropped version of that photo makes a whole lot more sense!

Is that staircase actually functional? That might be a fun place to play paintball, or an FPS map.

Looks like a mosque interior and the writings seem to be clear enough which AI sucks at creating them. The stairs called minbar.

Yep, you're right. I have never been inside a mosque before, so the stairs looked very odd out of context.

Well, Hagia Sophia is technically both. Also a great place to visit if you have time and money.
