No one here claimed the AI models made something truly new.

The commenter flessner asserted it couldn't, despite having no way to demonstrate it. They are passing off faith as fact.

Assuming someone did want to show AI models can make new stuff...

This isn't even that hard. You just need to know what images are your training data when you train your model. A researcher with a small grant could do this.
