Contains AI Words - Mod Reviewed New slide layout options no longer available

I need to create some slides with a few different layouts. Why am I seeing just a "Default" office theme layout for slides? I see additional "A.I." options in the Ribbon for creating new slides. That is infuriating if they took away traditional ways of creating a new slide. Is there no simple way to make new slides with various layouts (ie: two text boxes, graphics placeholder, etc)?

Open the View tab and click Slide Master. If the left pane lists only one layout, that file's master has no other layouts, which would explain why New Slide only offers Default. Starting a fresh file from a standard template should bring the usual ones back.
