Yeah, this matches with my sense. It has a really extensive knowledge of the expected relationships between elements, extending over a huge number of kinds of objects, and so it can (in one of the areas that are easy for it) successfully fill in the blanks in a way that looks very believable, but the extent to which it has a gears-y model of the scene seems very minimal. I think this also explains its difficulty with non-stereotypical scenes that don’t have a single focal element – if it’s filling in the blanks for both “pirate ship scene” and “dogs in Roman uniforms scene” it gets more confused.
