ChatGPT imagines three different backgrounds for three small sculptures

Here's a photo of three sculptures against a dark background. The two wood carvings were made by my grandfather, Axel Benzon. If you look at the base of Horus you can see "AD 1956," his initials followed by the year.

I uploaded the photo to ChatGPT and gave it this instruction:

I’ve uploaded a photo of three small sculptures against a blackish background. I want you to remove the background and place the figures on a table in the library of a rich person.

Let's do it again, and this time make is a modern home, light and airy.

I like that. Now imagine we're in an apartment on one of the upper floors of 432 Park Avenue in New York. We're in a room that faces South, looking over mid-town and lower Manhattan. Those sculptures are on a table in front of that window.

As I've never been in 432 Park, I cannot attest to how accurate that photo is, either with respect to the treatment of the window, or the view. Both look reasonable to me. Here's a photo of the upper stories of 432 Park.
