I wondered who used COBOL on homecomputers like C64. On YouTube I found an interesting video about COBOL on a C128. At the end are some interesting AI photos. Like these 2 , there are some more. I wonder if they are completely fictional or if there are existing similar source images/devices. Google Lens couldn’t find anything.
I’ve a difficult time, determining what I’m even seeing on these images!
Image #1
I guess, there are double-feed receipt-style printers mounted on top of banks of memory inspection lights, and there is a vaguely Xerox-style keyboard from around late the 1970s to mid-1980s? To the lower right, there are some ports, which may be either banks of switches, a plug ports, or any mix of anything between this.
The overall layout and arrangement, a block of buttons to the left of a larger, contrasting area in the middle, complemented by another vertical strip of control elements on the other side, as well as the keybord immediately in front, somewhat reminds of a SABRE airline reservation terminal.

This one is really interesting: This seems to be based on images showing an open cabinet, exposing cards and/or wiring. Here, both the door and the open cabinet are actually solid units and the left one has morphed into something reminding of banks of lights or even mechanical elements, like number reels or even printer components. The right unit exposes what seems to be a paper tape punch, and above this is what may have once been folded paper tapes in holders, but are now arrays of buttons.
The operator is keying in data from a hand-written strip of paper, which is supported by some contraption made of black wire in order to feed it into a flap in the left unit.
The supposedly once door to the right with the strips of yellow paper tape above a paper tape unit on cream colored panels may be based on images of the PDP-1 at the CHM. The left side, probably based on an opened computer cabinet is hard to attribute. (Notably, there is no relation to the PDP-1, which opens up to the sides.This seems to be more like a 1401 in service, or similar.) A fridge may be involved, as well. The operator and keyboard action are probably based on photos of human computers using calculators. (The pose of the operator somewhat reminds me of a photo of Ed Fredkin on the PDP-1, though.)
An element that is pretty obvious and common to both of the images: no computing without coffee! 
Please keep the AI junk out of here, please.
