For some reason this feels as though it was AI generated.

It stole this image -- https://interface-experience.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IE-Star-2-533x750.jpg and rescaled it to present a very misleading idea of what an 8010 workstation looked like, and the weird paper-white coloring of the display of the first image is just weird.  I don't know how reliable https://interface-experience.org/ is, but they credit their images, and they have links to other interesting systems.  Also see https://www.historyofinformation.com/index.php?home=1
