Fenestroitunut

Fenestroitunut is a term that has emerged in discussions surrounding digital art and artificial intelligence. It describes the phenomenon where an AI-generated image, particularly one intended to be photorealistic, contains visible or subtly erroneous "fenestrations" or openings. These fenestrations can manifest as strange gaps in objects, illogical holes in surfaces, or misplaced elements that disrupt the perceived integrity of the scene.

The term likely draws inspiration from the architectural term "fenestration," which refers to the arrangement and design of windows and doors in a building. In the context of AI art, "fenestroitunut" highlights the AI's struggle with accurately rendering the spatial relationships and physical coherence of objects and environments. Common examples include hands with too many or too few fingers, objects merging unnaturally with their backgrounds, or interiors that seem to have impossible voids.

This occurrence is often attributed to the way current AI models process and generate images. They learn from vast datasets of existing images, but their understanding of three-dimensional space and object permanence can be imperfect. This can lead to them creating "shortcuts" or misinterpretations during the generation process, resulting in these visual anomalies. While ongoing advancements in AI are continually reducing the frequency and severity of fenestroitunut, it remains a recognizable characteristic of some AI-generated imagery, often serving as a tell-tale sign of its artificial origin.
