Using AI this way seems like the equivalent of inventing spam for music to me. It's interesting, but basically we've figured enough out about the entropy and shape of an honest signal that we can automatically produce noise against it that cancels meaning, or subverts it. The difference between simulating music and using formalisms to make discoveries about it seems like a matter of intent. As in, what's the difference between a horizon, a window viewing one, and a picture of one? The existence of an observer makes them related, and the position of the observer makes them different. That difference is probably analogous to what simulated music is to intentional music. The existence of a listener makes it music, and the relationship of the listener makes it different. These AI generated images are like cancelling-noise to images we already associate meaning with. Which is seems analogous to 1/f fractal or Perlin noise at a certain level of abstraction. Not to dismiss or attempt to trivialize the accomplishment at all, but when people create tech that is overwhelming to the senses like that, sometimes a new frame of reference can help.
