I'm really confused about why you think this would even be a valid criticism. If I asked you to draw clothing, do you calculate cloth dynamics? No. You would immediately look for either a real life or image example, then you would draw using that as inspiration. Even if DALL-E was copying certain segments of an identically in order to compose new images, it is a huge advance. On top of that, much work has been done on GANs and other generative algorithms to investigate how similar output images are to training images.
